It receives regular TV broadcasts across Europe and is touching hearts regardless of religion and nationality. After trying to gain record company support, Leigh decided to make it happen himself by gathering together his musician friends and writing, producing and singing this Christmas song. The video was filmed at the fantastic Blists Hill Victorian Town at Ironbridge in Shropshire. It features the skills of top director Nick Bartleet and Cinematographer John Perez (known for his work on Coldplay's Viva La Vida, Beyoncé and many other productions). You can help spread some Christmas magic by spreading the word - thanks for your support and best wishes for 2015! My Favourite Time of Year Words & music by Leigh Haggerwood Verse 1 Lanterns lighting up the town, Peace on earth is all around, Everything is calm on Christmas Eve. There's goodwill in the air tonight, Angels sing by candle light, Their voices carried on the wind. When carol singers gather round, When I hear that festive sound, I wanna join with them and sing! Chorus They sing a merry song and we all sing along, A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here. See the stars tonight; they're shining bright, 'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year. Verse 2 Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Give me mistletoe; it's the season to be jolly, Wrapping presents, writing cards, helping decorate the tree, But there's one thing that makes it all for me. When carol singers gather round, Angel voices fill the town, It's like the world is joining in! (Noel, Noel, Noel) Chorus They sing a merry song and we all sing along, A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here. See the stars tonight; they're shining bright, 'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year. Middle 8 Christmas Eve, Still believe, So excited, Can't sleep, When the morning comes, Church bells ring, And he's been! Chorus They sing a merry song and we all sing along, A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here. See the stars tonight; they're shining bright, 'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year. And it's my favourite time of year (Noel, Noel) End Words & Music by Leigh Haggerwood.
