about

'The Mega release of all Indie Christmas releases. An insane amount of good stuff here' - 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).

Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas Vol II is a fundraising album for Crisis, 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 for the hospital, playing on 5 different continents and being labelled 'A magnificent anthology' by Pete Paphides (The Times & Mojo). The album was named New Sound Wales' Compilation Album of 2021.

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

It would be wonderful if you would consider giving a homeless person a helping hand this year by downloading Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas Vol II. Thank you and Seasons Greetings, Kevin McGrath

Huge thanks to all the artists who contributed a track and to all the labels who co-operated with them in doing so: Reveal, Libertino, Country Mile, BMG, Alcopop!, Damaged Goods, Kill Rock Stars, Caru, 131 Records, Storysound, Green Monkey, Slumberland, Subjangle, Anyways, blue-very disques, JAC World, Monde Green Records, Gas Station Music, Lights and Lines, Diskokaine Cherryade and Moshi Moshi. This project probably wouldn't have got off the ground at all if not for the many bloggers writing about obscure, under the radar Christmas music. Chief amongst these is the mighty Christmas Underground. Thanks to Irina Birt-Wiggins for designing the album artwork. Special thanks to Sunshine Music iradio for their incredible backing. All views expressed in the song lyrics are those of the artists and not of Crisis.

This album is dedicated to my lovely wife Karen and to our darling daughters, Jenny and Becky, for always making Christmas such a wonderfully happy time.
