greediesWhat’s that? You want to know what day 13 will bring in the Advent calender? Nothing will be as tasty as our 13th song. In 1979 Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott and Scott Gorham joined forces with Paul Cook and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols to bang out a medley of Christmas classics.

Most Advent Calendars offer you a chocolate for your endeavours, but for opening our link, we’ll reward you with a video from an Irish act from across the years. We’ll be using a mix of playful tracks, covers and originals by Irish artists of all varieties. There is no specific order to it, it’s not a top 25, it’s more 25 great tracks we want to share.

The Greedies, as they were collectively known delivered this unexpected collection of lovable Christmas songs in punk rock fashion much to the delight of the Top of the Pops audience.
