CHRISTMAS APPROACHES - a time of jollity…for some.
8 years ago this December, my family came close to losing our home in a house fire. We awoke on Christmas morning in a hotel. Well-meaning friends kept telling us how awful the whole experience must have been. But I knew that having any roof over our heads made us among the most fortunate people on the planet.
Since then, I have found myself becoming increasingly aware of the growing homeless population. Last year, on a high after a Christmas party near Piccadilly in London, I was brought down to earth by the sight of a young woman sitting hunched and alone in the rain, begging. I couldn’t shake the image of her. It inspired me to write "All She Wants For Christmas" with the help of my sister Kit (of Marshall Hain "Dancing In The City" fame)I recorded it this October/November under the name JAMSIDE UP feat:Timeless Tim and "MC Burglar. The project turned out to be the perfect antidote to an arduous course of radiotherapy for prostate cancer which I have been undergoing. I decided to dedicate and direct all proceeds to Crisis at this difficult time of year.
Enjoy the video, and may you feel moved to dig deep for those whose Christmas cheer is limited to what they can collect in a paper cup...Thank you, and Merry Christmas…"ALLL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS" by JAMSIDE UP available for download.from CDBABY, and all Download sites...
