Martin Carthy e John Kirkpatrick si ritrovano in questi Yuletracks insieme agli amici Martyn Wyndham-Read, Phil Beer, Maggie Goodall e Sue Harris (compagna di John). Il disco è gradevole e tocca l'apice con "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", cantata da Martin Carthy. La produzione è di Joe Stead e di Wyndham-Raed. Particolare è la grafica di copertina, opera di Chris Goom.
