Can this man give Male Bonding a 2013 highlight?

What can we expect from Male Bonding in 2013?

We have an EP ready to go I think.  All recorded.  We hope to do some more touring and I'm sure by the end of the year we'll have another full length ready.

Favourite Christmas track?

This is the best Christmas song ever.  Everyone always goes with the Pogues, and that's understandable, but this is my favourite:

Why this track?

A political Christmas song by the bloke that wrote "You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties".  What's not to like?

Can we have a link to one of your tracks please?

Love these guys. Amazing fragile melodies that sooth even the hardest souls, and off the back of a great 2012, we see these guys go from strength to strength in 2013!

Why this track?

It's a lot of people's favourite Christmas track but that's because it is a great track. My family are Irish so we always have a good dance to this.
