The most fun Christmas song you'll hear this year.

The most fun Christmas song you’ll hear this year.

The Sunday Sessions’ 12 Songs of Christmas series, which kicked off this week, has got everyone very much in the festive spirit. We’re allowed lads, it’s December.

JOE and Her.ie are getting up-and-coming Irish artists to do a unique version of their favourite Christmas songs live at the Workman’s Club in Dublin.

Gavin James, Darling and Rainy Boy Sleep have already played for us and now we want you to see The Hot Sprockets’ version of ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree.’

This will put you in great form, that’s a JOE guarantee. Enjoy.

The Hot Sprockets – ‘Devil’s Gonna Take Me’

The lads sat down with Her.ie’s Grace O’Reilly to chat about naked calendar shoots, Spotify and  ‘Licks From The Vault’, the special EP that 500 lucky fans will get to take home from their Vicar’s Street gig on December 21st.

Speaking of Vicar’s Street, we’ve got a pair of tickets for The Hot Sprockets gig to giveaway… Follow The Sunday Sessions on Twitter for more details.
