Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous.

What's Inside, by The Beautiful Secret.
What's Inside, written and sung by Rachael Hawnt. "I wanted to share a song I co wrote with Ash Cutler about my niece. This song is a very personal look at life from her perspective. This song became the official anthem for World Autism Awareness Week 2017. This was our charity single in support of the National Autistic Society helping to raise awareness for people living with Autism."
Shaun Martin - 'Light in Dark Places'
Super talented Shaun Martin brings his mid-century 'modern' jazz rhythms to the 2020's, with the help of Mike "Blaque Dynamite" Mitchell and Matthew Ramsey. Love this new track 'Light in Dark Places' which includes his clever use of synth keyboards. #shaunmartin #lightindarkplaces #mikemitchell #blaquedynamite #matthewramsey #jazz #modernjazz #jeeni #music #musicians #independent #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans
