Ray Davies - 'Postcard From London'

Ray Davies has a new single out just in time for Christmas, 'Postcard From London', a gentle Christmas song with Chrissie Hynde and a choir of children. It's a gloriously sentimental song, a song of love for London set at Christmas, with references to building snowmen in Hampstead and walking down to Waterloo... It's a very different song to his previous Christmas record with The Kinks, 'Father Christmas'. I think I love it.

Chrissie sounds in good voice and here's hoping she'll join him on stage when we see him at Hammersmith next week.

And here's the video, with some great scenes, including the Pink Reindeer in this years' Carnaby Street Christmas decorations.
