UK Chart sensation Aled Jones is to sing a duet with UK Eurovision Enfant Terrible Terry Wogan – ‘Britain’s best loved breakfast DJ on Radio 2’ (after, err, Aled Jones Sunday Breakfast Show) – of the Christmas classic “Little Drummer Boy.” Originally made famous by Bing Crosby and David Bowie in the 70’s, the reworked Yuletide number will be released on the 8th of December.<\/p>\n

Jones of course was made famous as the singer of “Walking In The Air” which reached number 5 in the charts; 16 places higher than Sir Terry’s attempt with “The Floral Dance” which peaked at number 21 (see this delightful track on YouTube<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is a late entry into the BBC’s Eurovision selection programme “Your Country Needs You?” No matter what it is, the profits from the release will all go to Children in Need.<\/p>\n

A douze or a nul point anyone?<\/p>\n
