There are two fantastic Willkommen shows coming up this December in Brighton and Lewes – and both headliners have recorded seasonal hits.

The wonderful Hamilton Yarns have uploaded a typically unique Christmas song which you can get for free from here. The band play at the Needlemakers in Lewes with Kristin McClement on December 20th.

Laish have done the same and their track can be heard here. The band play tomorrow, Wednesday 14th December, at the Proud Ballroom in Kemp Town, Brighton with The Magic Lantern. Tickets are available here. Then the two bands then play at Old St Mary’s Church in Stoke Newington, London on Friday 16th December. Tickets for that one can be purchased here.

The next four  Willkommen nights are all confirmed and we’ve added a dedicated page to this site to help you keep track of our monthly live shows in Brighton.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our label showcase at Notting Hill Arts Club on Saturday, it was a great success. I hope everyone is enjoying listening to their free label compilations CDs – if you didn’t manage to get one you can download the entire Willkommen Collective compilation from last.fm here.

We’ll be giving away more of them over the coming weeks at our shows and with our mailorder.
