Welcome to Holly Jukebox 2020!

Today's tune is for the very lovely and talented Matt Pattison, long time friend and supporters of my musical endeavours 💙 Thank you so much for the request Matt xx

From Peter Gabriel to Boney M in the space of 24 hours... classic Jukebox! I mean, when I received a request for Boney M. I was pretty excited, not gonna lie. And then I realised how sad the lyrics to this are - it's tragic!

And I started trying to play it and realised I have absolutely zero funky skills on guitar, so I slowed it down and done a really sad version which I kind of liked 😄 Always interesting to strip back pop tunes and make what you can of them, and I quite enjoyed turning Boney M. acoustic and all serious, just for a second! 🙂

For the guitarists - this one is in the tuning of DADGAD with the capo on 2nd fret. Absolutely no idea what chords I'm playing so please follow along with my finger shapes if you want to know what I'm doing!

WHAT'S HOLLY JUKEBOX?
Now becoming somewhat of a Christmas tradition in my house, the Holly Jukebox Challenge is a self-imposed charity song marathon between 1st - 25th December.

The deal: In exchange for a donation to York Mind, I take song requests from my family & friends & supporters in the month leading up to the challenge, then upload a request every day in December to my YouTube channel ([ Ссылка ]) and Facebook & Instagram (@hollytaymar)

The reason I do this is to:

1. Keep me out of mischief in the big bad Winter

2. Spread some festive cheer and hopefully a few laughs as I try and get to grips with all manner of requests

3. Raise some much needed cash for awesome local charity York Mind!

I think we can all agree that 2020 has tried it's best to batter our collective mental (and physical) health, and I'm super-excited to kick this year where it hurts by doing something good and raising as much as I can to help folks who are really struggling.

You can find out how my incredible colleagues at York Mind are supporting people in York, find info and self-refer for help, here: [ Ссылка ]

If you'd like to make a donation towards my fundraising, please do so here: [ Ссылка ]

The song request calendar is now FULL for December 2020 - so if you haven't got a request in, sadly I'm not taking any more - but please feel free to follow my progress on YouTube if you like!

Thanks everyone!
