This Christmas (With Anthologies and Hide & Seek)
With the aim of raising valuable funds for Leeds homeless charity Simon on the Streets this winter, music-videographers Anthologies, and record label/promoters Hide & Seek have collaborated on an ambitious festive music project. Entitled This Christmas (with Anthologies and Hide & Seek) it brings together many of the finest musicians from the flourishing melting-pot that is the Leeds music scene, as they capably tackle the challenge of performing a “Christmas song” in their own vastly varying but equally brilliant ways.

An excellent mix of bands really....
Well worth a few quid!
Bloody hell...
Over £500 in donations since putting this online two days ago.
Even if you can only spare a couple of quid, it will go to a great cause, and you'll get some top music for it.
