Lyrics
Don't You Lose Your Mind (It's Christmas Time) by The Banana Sessions Singer: Roberta Pia Guitar: Calum Wood Flute: Tom Pickles Drums & Percussion: Calum Macintyre Double Bass: Jenny Hill Fiddle: Emma Pethybridge The Banana Sessions are a light-hearted and fun proposition, with strong leanings towards jazz and cabaret styles and an irreverent approach, chucking a few lyrical and musical jokes in to the mix. They do a series of dainty songs with the colour Green and various animals as subjects, including The Drunken Doormouse and Pesky Wabbit (have they been reading Lewis Carroll?). Then there's the Ballad Of Captain Malloy. Alongside guitar, light drum beats, a girl called Bob on lead vox and a very impressive tuba, the songs are embellished by a dainty, Irish-jig-like flute accompaniment. It's a strong folk element that conjures up images of leprechauns and gentle-folk dancing, prancing and romancing, wouldn't sound entirely out of place on the soundtrack of Gangs Of New York and would all be very cheerful and naive were it not for the wee sting in the Banana Sessions' tail. They go on to sing about the wondrous, dis-inhibiting qualities of Buckfast before closing their set with a very unlikely medley of covers to ramp up the crowd. Limbo is treated to The Prodigy's Outer Space, Smack My Bitch Up, Voodoo People (how apt) and Spitfire, followed by 2Unlimited's No Limits. It's sufficient to put a smile on everyone's face, if they're not smiling already, and ensures the band get a fantastic reception.
