Lonely This Christmas

A re-worded version of the 1970s Christmas classic originally recorded by Mud, and written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman (who have given their permission for the band to release their somewhat derivative version of their work!). Lonely This Christmas was originally released in 2007 as part of the bands three-track charity Christmas single entitled Stuff The Mangledwurzels!.

The Mangledwurzels are a three-piece Scrumpy and Western band based in Somerset, England writing and performing in the style of Adge Cutler. Formed in early 2005, the band has established themselves across the West Country of England with their highly entertaining live performances blending classic Wurzels songs with self-penned original compositions and pop standards Mangled in true Wurzels tradition. With a deal signed with independent record label Loose Records (who had the real Wurzels on their books in the 1990s), The Mangledwurzels released their critically acclaimed second album WurzEe II in July 2009 containing fifteen original Wurzels-flavoured, cider-fuelled, Scrumpy & Western songs reeking with rustic charm.
