BACKING TRACKS FOR CHRISTMAS CAROLS?

[Squier Ken]

At this time of year I am usually asked to play an instrumental or two, either during a church service or at a more informal service in a local care home. 'Apache' or 'Equinoxe V' seem rather inappropriate so I'm wondering if anyone out there has, or knows of, or could produce, BTs for a selection of Christmas carols. I'm afraid I have neither the equipment nor the know-how to create them myself. Bit late for this year, so it gives me another 12 months to come up with something!

I'd be grateful for any help. Diolch yn fawr (as they say in this neck of the woods...)

Thanks for that Jim. Problem is that these (and other 'Backing Track' CDs I've found on the web) include the melody line which rather defeats the object. I guess there's too small a niche in the market for Shadows' style Christmas carols!!

Thanks anyway.

Ken, I was thinking, after our Children In Need gig, when both the Lions and the lady from the council asked if we could do something similar in Aberystwyth for Christmas, it would be a good idea to have a set of Christmas carols and maybe other Chrtistmas material. As you say, it's a bit late for this year, but I should be able to create a decent set of backing tracks for this sort of thing. We can talk about it when I see you on Saturday.

Great stuff Noel! See you on Saturday.

Ken - the Ameritz ones I use don't have the melody line, they're 'proper' backing tracks. I used Frosty the Snowmand & Slade's Merry Christmas Everbody last week at our male voice choir concert & they were perfect.

Jim, thanks for getting back to me on this. Sounds like I'll have to give the Ameritz BTs a go. If they're as good as you say it might save Noel a lot of work!
