Listen/Download – Funky16Corners Christmas Party 124MB MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is nigh and so then is the Christmas Edition of the Funky16Corners Radio Show, which arrives each and every Friday with a selection of platters, soul, funk, jazz and rare groove, all original. You can subscribe  to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via Stitcher and TuneIn, grab it on Mixcloud or get an MP3 right here at Funky16Corners.com

What you have here is a re-posting of last year’s Funky16Corners Christmas Party mix, which gathers together an hour-long selection of holiday favorites that have been posted here over the years into one nice, juicy, festive, jingling, jolly package.

There’s all manner of soul and funk (and even a little blues) and it’s the perfect soundtrack for your wassailing, cider-mulling, gift giving and general merriment.

I hope you dig it, and whether you celebrate Christmas or not, that you have a fantastic day!

See you next week with some special post-holiday collections.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Keep the faith

Larry
