One of the many quintessential British obsessions with Christmas we suffered growing up in the UK, was the race by an assorted questionable bunch of singers/performers to be Top of The Charts on Jesus’ birthday .
Why the ‘race’ became such a fixation we will never know especially when we suffered through such ‘gems” as :
Benny Hill – Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)
St Winifreds School Choir – There’s No One Quite Like Grandma really made us want to throw up our Christmas turkey
And then there’s our favorite : a nauseating Jimmy Osmond singing an equally nauseating song which was a Christmas Hit In 1972
We had thought this ghastly tradition had been banished like all things evil such as Margaret Thatcher, so imagine our horror when we were alerted that IT”S STILL GOING ON. For example last year’s winner was LadBaby with the soon-to-be-classic I Love Sausage Rolls.
So Queerguru was thrilled to discover all is not lost, as there is one person in London who wants the raise the whole thing to aa whole new plane. Mark T Cox, self styled ?? Irish ‘boy’ in London cabaret star /pianist /comedian /pacemaker owner /future celebrity is holding a if-you-can’t beat them-then-join-them-‘seminar’ .
He will be performing live at the fabulous Glory and accompanied by East London songstress Just May, presenting How To Build a Christmas No.1
