Chris has written many of Show Of Hands’ big hits including, ‘Lily and the Rose’ which he wrote for Miranda Sykes and The Lost Sound. We’ve performed this together with Show Of Hands, at their 25thAnniversary concert in The Royal Albert Hall in 2017.
Chris explains the background of ‘Though We Lie Underground’ for us:
I first came across the stories surrounding the curious tradition of West Country miners singing carols underground when listening to a recording of Alan Lomax’s extraordinary live BBC 1957 broadcast “Sing Christmas and the Turn of the Year”, a feat of radio genius involving hundreds of performers and groups all over the country, seamlessly brought together for one scintillating hour.

(music by Michael Head, words by Margaret Rose)
The sun's in his cradle,
The bird's in her nest,
The Shepherds are calling
The lambs home to rest.
Go, sleep little Jesus!
The wind's riding by
To set all the candles
Alight in the sky.
A candle for Kingship,
Sweet laughter it brings
And mirth's Golden music,
The riches of Kings.
Go sleep little Jesus!
The wind's riding by
To set all the candles
Alight in the sky
But oh! in the skytop
Up there I can see
A cross, it's shining,
It's shining on thee,
Go sleep, little Jesus!
The wind's riding by
To set all the candles
Alight in the sky.
"Star Candles" is available on the compact disc Joyous Day! distributed through Clarion Records. For purchase info, visit www.utahchamberartists.org less
