Listen "Sidetracked by Christmas"
Episode Synopsis
For Sidetracked’s first ever Christmas party, Annie and Nick are joined by singer SELF ESTEEM, Ezra Collective’s Femi Koleoso, comedian Joanne McNally and BBC Music Correspondent Mark Savage, at their favourite Irish pub.
With the festive season in full swing, Annie and Nick ask their guests why music and Christmas are so intrinsically linked. And although it’s full of joy, why does Christmas music have the power to make people feel devastatingly sad? Plus, Femi plays the piano in public for the very first time, Annie takes on the role of Santa and Joanne talks about her brief time at the top of the Irish music charts.
