University of Manchester at Christmas

Staff and students from across campus have joined forces to record and share with you some Christmas music, unlike anything you’ve heard before.

Students and staff from the Department of Music, a Midwifery student and a Mathematics student gathered in the studio – with wonderful results.

 “Please take a moment to enjoy a Gospel version of ‘Silent Night’, a Christmas blues named ‘Merry Christmas Baby’ and, finally, ‘Zat You Santa Clause?’, featuring Father Christmas himself on the drums,” organiser and lecturer in Jazz Studies, Dr Alexander Gagatsis, said as he presented the festive films.
