One More Christmas Supporting Parkinson’s UK Christmas 2014 A Christmas song just like they used to be. All of the classic ingredients evoking that warm glow of Christmases past and the innocent spirit of a bygone era. The song was penned by Englishman, Brian Hodgson, American, Bobby Cochran and Swede, Micke Finell. These guys are all steeped in the history of Rock ’n’ Roll; Brian has a pedigree as long as your arm, having been a member of the 80s Rockabilly Rebels Matchbox as well as being a founder member of Albert Lee & Hogan’s Heroes. A successful Record Producer with countless songs and albums to his credit, he has worked with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Dave Edmunds, Shakin Stevens, Peter Sarstedt, Lonnie Donegan, Van Morrison, Sonny Curtis, Neil Innes, was a member of the original Rutles band and has even won Eurovision as a songwriter. Bobby’s uncle was the late great Eddie Cochran of course, and Bobby has carried on in his footsteps having worked with such musical luminaries as Steppenwolf, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Leon Russell, as well as his own band Bobby And The Midnites. Lastly, Micke is one of the stalwarts of the Swedish Rock ’n’ Roll scene, having been a member of The Refreshments and currently writing and producing for many of the top native acts. Sadly, Brian has recently been afflicted with Parkinson’s. This has seen him having to restructure his life to some extent and curtail some of his live work. However, not one to allow anything to hold him back in life, he recently performed at his enormously successful testimonial gig with Albert Lee & Hogans Heroes and a multitude of stellar guests including Marty Wilde, Chas & Dave, Chris Farlowe, Mike Berry, Neil Innes, Elliott Randall, Pete Lincoln, Graham Fenton, Jona Lewie and John Halsey. Parkinson’s UK therefore is a charity very close to his heart, and he got together with another of his longstanding writing partners, Pete Lincoln, to record One More Christmas with a view to donating the profits from the song. Pete also has a long musical pedigree and is currently touring the world and recording as frontman for The Sweet, as well as writing and recording solo projects. So with Pete on lead vocals and guitars and Brian on bass, the boys enlisted the help of a few good friends to create One More Christmas:- ▪ Gavin Povey Piano ▪ Gerry Hogan Pedal Steel Guitar ▪ Bobby Cochran Baritone Guitar Solo ▪ Alex Reeves Drums ▪ Gayle Fraser Backing Vocals ▪ Steve Mann Mixing/Mastering
