Christmas may be over but I couldn't let this wee gem sit for another year.
Sit back and watch two AKA legends perform with the Salvation Army.
Merry Christmas y'all.

Liverpool Nativity
This contemporary music drama reworks the nativity story. Set in a fictitious state, it tells the story of a pregnant young girl set against a backdrop of political tension.
It's on BBC Three on Sunday night at 22.45
We know you'll understand, God
We know you will understand, God,
if we don’t have the faith that Mary had
- not quite yet, anyway.
We’d be willing to believe that love is waiting, just around the corner,
to be born into our world
and that when it is we’ll see the hungry fed, and the humble lifted high
but it would really help to have some angels come visit who would talk us into it.
So all we can commit to, today,
is to prepare the place for you to be born
even if it doesn’t seem likely.
Because while we are a little sceptical about Christmas
we’d really love to be convinced.
