Sketch Group Sheeps Release Christmas Album

Sketch Group Sheeps Release Christmas Album

Sheeps are “arguably the best sketch group of their generation” (Guardian), so who better placed to bring you arguably the best Christmas album of their generation?

‘A  Very Sheeps Christmas’, a labour of love for Sheeps for over a decade, and painstakingly recorded over the last 10 months, will be released on 6 December 2024. Featuring zero covers, the album is guaranteed to include your new favourite Christmas songs, such as ‘My Baby Looks A Lot Like Santa Claus’, ‘Goodman Jizz’, ‘(I Just Wanna Go On My Phone) This Christmas’ and ‘Bad Back/Wet Sleigh’* (*cut from the record).

The musical passion project of lead songwriters and vocalists Daran Jonno Johnson and Al Roberts, this album features a whole host of incredible guest stars: vocal appearances from Jamie Demetriou, Rose Matafeo, Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie, Emma Sidi and Amy Annette, and musical appearances from Kieran Hodgson on violin, and John Tothill on clarinet - as well as incredible musicians appearing across the album. (Katy Wix is not featured on the album because was busy blowing into a violin (see cover)).

The album’s producers say to ‘Expect gorgeous melodies, low-in-the-mix-sleigh-bells, and lots of songs about Santa. Really, lots and lots of songs. 20 of them! You’ll be amazed at just how good they are, and just how and why Sheeps have been allowed to do this.’

The album will be released on a limited edition vinyl, as well as downloading and streaming, all available to pre-order and pre-save now. All links are HERE.

The track ‘My Baby Looks A Lot Like Santa Claus’ is available to download and stream now - Spotify / Apple Music. Sheeps will also be celebrating the release of the album with some guest-filled live shows at London’s illustrious MOTH Club in December, on-sale on Friday 11 October.
