What reviewers have said: ‘Continuing a welcome tradition from the mighty Cherryade Records, it now feels like Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without this  annual compilation.’ Martin Kendrick for Noize Makes Enemies / ‘This compilation is the best thing to happen to Christmas since sprouts – I should point out that I love sprouts!’ Artrocker / ‘It’s that time of year again when the people at Cherryade reach into bulging Santa’s sack and pick out assorted  shiny aural trinkets. This DIY music compilation of fiercely  independent artists is the perfect gift for kids who miss John Peel’s Festive Fifty.’ God Is In The Tv / ‘‘Probably the most indie label in Europe, Manchester-based DIY-label Cherryade Records have got into the spirit over the last 4 years with A Very Cherry Christmas, an annual compilation that brings together some of the most DIY and indie performers who, in a parallel universe, would be no. 1 on Top of the Pops.’ The Independent.
