UKULELE vs. ORCHESTRA! (Interview with James Hill & Anne Janelle)

This week I'm chatting with James Hill and Anne Janelle about their terrific new festive album, The Midnight Clear - including how they managed to balance an entire orchestra against a single ukulele!
We also discuss:
What it's like to write and record an album with your significant other?
The importance of Christmas music in today's increasingly fragmented society
The lengthy incubation period for so many creative projects
Has 2023 been a good year for them
Plans for 2024
Christmas traditions
Touring with a full orchestra
Balancing the ukulele against an orchestra - how?!
And lots, lots more.
