HELLO handsome. Hello gorgeous. The Rider is beginning, just beginning to turn a tinselly eye towards Christmas.

There have been trips to Christmas Markets. There have been big nights out. There is even talk of a kitten.

Does it get more festive?

You want more? We'll give you more. Neil Atkinson has remembered a book. John Gibbons's songs are either FAST, MEDIUM or SLOW. Stephanie Heneghan has been doing hours of radio and Adam Melia as ever has a gig for you.

Plus ten great songs. Ten of them. Imagine.
