Edition 41: Gill Sandell / Ted Barnes / Piney Gir / Enderby's Room / The Real Tuesday Weld.

On the first edition of 2012 we look back to Christmas....yes I know it's over!  But on 20th December at the Vortex in Dalston we brought together a bunch of very talented London based artists for our Christmas Broadcast.  Despite the seasonal time of year they performed many songs which looked more generally at wintertime themes.  Here are the non-Christmas highlights from that concert featuring some of Arctic Circle's favourite artists - Gill Sandell, Ted Barnes, Piney Gir, Enderby's Room and The Real Tuesday Weld.
