Chantage was formed in 1999 by its Musical Director, James Davey, and quickly established itself in London as a stylish and energetic young chamber choir. It draws singers from all over the country and from all walks of life. Strong commitment from its members has helped forge a growing reputation as an outstanding amateur choir with a national reputation.

'Since buying this CD I haven't stopped playing it. Traditional Christmas songs like Jingle Bells are performed with humour and flair while the more contemplative pieces are poignant and moving. Chantage perform with real joy and the CD makes a perfect backdrop to whatever Christmas you have in store. Your mum will love it. Your granny will love it. You'll love it. Don't wait for Santa - buy it now!'
