Blue Christmas – the first track from Cherry Ghost in 5 years. Cutting into the rotten core of politics whilst marking the festive season. Simon Aldred transformed a would-be, fireside Christmas classic into a caustic commentary on the poverty-enabling, truth-distorting and minority-weakening election campaign and its shock outcome – writing it 24 hours before the result was announced.

Heavenly Recordings are celebrating their 30 year anniversary next April with a weekend of live music at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. As in 2015, Cherry Ghost will be there next year with a gig on the evening of Saturday April 18th 2020.

Tickets for the gig are now sold out.

A fans group has been set up over at facebook. All are welcome to discuss all things Cherry Ghost.
