November 2024 is the 50th Anniversary of Showaddywaddy’s brilliant Christmas single…‘Hey Mister Christmas’, which features The National Children’s Home Harpenden Choir.

This Limited Edition 7” vinyl picture disc celebrates this anniversary.

‘Hey Mister Christmas’ reached #13 in the UK’s Christmas Singles Chart, becoming the Band’s third Top 20 hit in just seven months!

That week’s Singles chart also featured Top 20 Christmas hits by Mud (#1), The Wombles (#2), The Goodies (#7) and Gilbert O’Sullivan (#12)

Showaddywaddy first burst onto the scene by appearing on the early-1970s version of “Britain’s Got Talent”, “New Faces” winning one heat, in November 1973, and were runners-up in the “All Winners Final”, which was broadcast on 28th December 1973.

Less than a year later, they had a Christmas hit after a successful 1974, which continued throughout the decade, with Showaddywaddy ultimately being crowned as the Band/Artist with the most UK hits in the 1970s than any other act, including Abba!

Dubbed the hardest working Band in Britain, Showaddywaddy have 80 Tour dates between July 2024 and July 2025, with 20 dates from 1st November to 20th December 2024; another 25 dates until November.
