Jape's Christmas No 1

Wouldn't it be great to have a decent Christmas number 1 to add to the records after the tripe that has infected the charts over the past couple of years. The people at Galway's Roisin Dubh had a worthy reminder in this week's email newsletter, instructing people to purchase a copy of Jape's 'Phil Lynott' when it is released on Friday(19 Dec). To see the brilliant Jape atop the singles chart as 2008 draws to a close would be a victory on many fronts. I don't think it has turned into a full on campaign as of yet but here's hoping some momentum is stired up to surpass the pre-teens who dictate who is awarded the coveted Christmas honour. If all this fails, you will still be left with a copy of a top-notch track telling the story of a night at a gig, a lunar eclipse and two bass players from Crumlin.
