All I want for Christmas: Alfie and Harry Hudson-Taylor

These Irish folk pop duo know what they want this year


Christmas for us starts when . . . the Toy Show comes on!

Last Christmas . . . we spent at home in Dublin with the family. Pints on Christmas Eve and full stomach and pyjamas on Christmas Day.

This Christmas . . . we're shaking it up a bit with a family holiday to New Orleans! Can't wait!

I'll never forget the Christmas that . . . we had a gig cancelled on us because the venue found out we were underage. We ended up busking in Temple Bar while the snow came down and a crowd of 50 people sang along.

Our favourite thing about this time of year is . . . mince pies! The one thing that brings out our inner Grinch is . . . queuing when you leave the shopping till the last minute (always).

The perfect gift for our ears would be . . . the sound of a beautiful acoustic guitar (Harry) and the entire Beatles catalogue on vinyl – not too much to ask (Alfie).

The perfect gift for our eyes would be . . . a new pair of glasses (Harry) and the Reeling in the Years box set (Alfie).

It wouldn't be Christmas without . . . family. And Christmas dinner.
