Christmas Number One For Carisbrooke's Starling Songwriters

A Carisbrooke youth music club has triumphed at an annual local festive competition.

The Starling Songwriters, which welcomes 10 to 16 year-olds with an interest in music, meets monthly at Carisbrooke Church Hall.

They triumphed at the Quay Arts Christmas competition for their song 'Wrap up the Presents.'

The judges awarded points based on jolliness, cheesiness, sadness and 'Christmassy-ness.'

The music video for the upbeat festive ditty is below:


Local singer/songwriter Jack Nicholson (not that one) came in second with a track about the first Christmas without his dad around.

Further details about the Starling Singers can be found online.
