about

Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas consists of two 54-track digital volumes*. All proceeds go to the UK charity Crisis. (*Please note the 3rd and final volume was released in 2023 and is also available to buy here. Again all monies raised go to Crisis at Christmas).

'The Mega release of all Indie Christmas releases. An insane amount of good stuff here and an absolutely essential purchase' - Christmas Underground

'A colossal achievement. Pay what you think 108 songs (!!) from the finest indie bands alive are worth'. Emma's House Music

'A big deal. Buy it and make the world a bit better' - John Harris (The Guardian, Mojo, Rolling Stone, Shindig).

Crisis is a UK charity which helps the homeless. Every penny raised will go to Crisis at Christmas, the charity's annual project to care for the homeless over Christmas and beyond.

Last year I curated V4Velindre, a fundraising album for the cancer hospital where I am currently an outpatient. The album was a success - raising £2,000 so far for the hospital, playing on 5 different continents and being labelled 'a brilliant and lovingly compiled album' by the Guardian's John Harris. The album was named New Sound Wales' Compilation Album of 2021.

Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas follows the same template. I have spent months listening to original Xmas songs from a diverse range of genres, including Indie, Singer-Songwriter, Folk, Americana, Surf-Rock, Psychedelia, Electronic, Punk & Post-Punk.

It would be wonderful if you would consider helping to support a homeless person this Christmas by downloading Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas. Season's Greetings, Kevin McGrath
