Christmas 2020 with Brother Tree Sound

This concert was originally going to take place in St John the Baptist Church, Little Missenden, but due to last minute changes in tiers and pandemic regulations this was no longer possible. To ensure the concert could still go ahead, but online only, and before further tier changes happened, we recorded this outdoors while battling the elements, nature, and traffic noises. We hope you enjoy it and wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
