When Gulls Window Circus moved from the Boston College studio of WZBC to home recording in March, new opportunities opened up – where shows were previously composed of what I threw in a bag, now the whole of my collection was at the disposal of each and every show, and any whim could be followed as inspiration arose. This week you have the first ever Gulls Window Circus Christmas show – I believe it will spread joy and be fun to listen to.
Listen to this show – Part Two appears further down the page
