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 become increasingly aware of the growing homeless crisis. Two years ago, on a high after a Christmas party in Soho, I was brought down to earth by the sight of a young female beggar,sitting hunched and alone in the Piccadilly rain. This lingering image inspired me to write "All She Wants For Christmas,” with my sister Kit, of Marshall Hain "Dancing In The City" fame.
I recorded it under the name “JAMSIDE UP feat:Timeless Tim and MC Burglar.” The project became 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 and donate, for those whose Christmas cheer is limited to what they can collect in a paper cup...
“ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS ( 2021 mix ) by JAMSIDE UP is also available to download from Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Deezer, and all the usual sites.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas…
