Not only does singer and the Carnival Band celebrate their 40th anniversary of their annual Christmas dates together this year, but they have also announced that this year will be their farewell tour together. Prior and the band have just announced their traditional seasonal run together for December, and you can watch a tour trailer video below. What began as a one-off session in a village hall in Cumbria in 1984 has endured for over 40-years with regular tours and eleven albums.
The current tour will be the last time fans get to see them mix ancient and modern instruments and rich vocal harmony with a refreshing cavalier attitude and plenty of humour, putting their inimitable stamp on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive fare. "This guarantees to be a Christmas Party to remember – a celebration of a unique partnership," they say. You can see a full list of live dates and ticket details below.
