Let me know which slots you want, once your done send me your parts via pm:)
Big thank you to Avalon for the excellent backingtrack :rock: :rock:
The first uploaded track is the original incase you need to have a listen where your part falls, the second is the bt :)

Well you can certainly pop me down for a slot, and the chorus, im not too fussed where i go though any available part will be fine :)

I'll bang you down for slot 7 Jam thanks :)

I thought the lyrics at 29 secs were "does he turn up on his sleigh"

I'll do a chorus.

oooh I love this song, always makes me feel good

can i have the following slot and a chorus please

0:59 - 1:05 Are you waiting for the family to arrive?

awesome, I will record it on my medieval laptop if need be ...i will get it done for sure:thumb:

Okay fellas cheers , i think its just slang Hans for turn up "ton up " lol , and Mark if you do that bit this part is with that slot to thanks m8:)

"0:59 - 1:05 Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
1:07 - 1:13 Are you sure you got the room to spare inside? SLOT 4"

:lol: I cant sing this, it is right in the "flat spot" in my limited range and I cant hit the notes. I am sat here singing it trying to find the best option and the kids (all 4 of 'em) are happily singing along.

Can I have slot 6 Mart, can take that one up a bit I think.

You most certainly can m8, if you want for the chorus parts Steve get the kids singing in aswell , more the merrier i say :rock: :rock:
On that note i will do slot 2 lol :lol:

I'll do Slot 2:02 to 2:08 Is this ok? I'll also do the chorus!!

Johnny

Well i will swap and let you have slot 2 m8, i will do slot 1 :)

Well i will swap and let you have slot 2 m8, i will do slot 1 :)


Sounds good,..I'll get this to ya soon as I can!

Do we do the chorus just once for you to cut and paste, or each time so it will not sound so repetitive?

To get the kids in time I may have to play the original in the background, a bit of seepage ok?

Nah if you could do all 4 of them at once m8, if not i will be copying pasting all day long lol, its not impossible but when you have the high hats there then one whole vocal track , its much easier then having 40 or 50 little parts all over the place , yeah it won't be to bad Steve, its for us to get into the xmas spirit , its not for a record label lmao :lol: :woot:
With everyone on the chorus it should blend in nicely :D

Ok, will get her done Saturday, the only day I have off cos Im banging in the overtime for Xmas. kids are gonna love it.

I think all the slots are taken now mate, but you can nick mine, plus the more the merrier on the chorus's too :)
As for "Does he tug upon a sleigh?" i haven't the slightest idea, might be a typo on the lyrics site, or as mart said, it might just be abit of Northern slang :)

Na, I was only offering cause it looked like there was 4 or 5 spots still open. Didn't realize some people have 2 lines. Thanx for the offer but you guys don't want to hear me if you really don't have to, lol.
