Show 70 – Scampi For Christmas – is a festive feast of acoustic fun. There are some seasonal songs to get you in the mood for Christmas, and other great acoustic tracks to go with them. This show is dedicated to the memories of two very special people who died this year – Oliver Postgate (the creator of Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, The Clangers, Noggin the Nog, and Pogles Wood), and Cliff Hall (member of the popular Liverpool folk group The Spinners).
