Welcome to episode two in the mini-series of Songs in the Key of Christmas. Here you'll find another ten festive treats from off the beaten track for you to listen to and enjoy.

There's a rather downbeat feel to a few of the songs this time round with tunes themed around the soul-lessness of commercialised Christmases, homelessness and missing loved ones.

But there's enough here to offset the misery, thanks to El Vez's interpretation of "Feliz Navidad" and a particularly perky rendition of "Jingle Bells" courtesy of Booker T and the MGs.
