Norwich's Rope Store, Jason Baldock and Gemma Dietrich, claim to make 1960s inspired songs in a disused nuclear bunker, recording straight onto an 8 track with one ribbon mic. 'Never Had Christmas' is their homage to the likes of Slade, Wizzard and The Wombles - 'Never Had Christmas' has everything a Christmas rock song needs: catchy vocals, (glam) rock guitars, Christmas bells, a rhythm that invites you to clap-a-long, an instrumental break with a wall-of-sound production that blows you right out of your Christmas socks, and of course an important message: Christmas is all about the friends you love and the family that you really get on with! Released through the fab Snowflake Christmas Singles Club in 2016.
