It might only be July 24th, but we all have to start thinking about Christmas at some point. What presents shall I buy? What size turkey do I need this year? And would Dad really appreciate a pair of hideous novelty socks?

These are all fair questions. Another one is how to spend your Christmas Eve. Some spend it in the pub. Some spend it scoffing sweets whilst watching a film they’ve seen 12,000 times already. And others might choose to spend it listening to DJ Sneak for six hours – or so Sneak himself seems to think.

The timing of the event – at least in local time – is clever. Firstly, it means his audience won’t be completely drunk so might be able to enjoy his set more. And secondly, the 9pm finish means that DJ Sneak has plenty of time to get tucked into bed nice and warm, thus ensuring that Santa leaves him a present or two.

Rumours that Sneak has made his own edit of “Oh Come All Ye Faithfull” have just been made up by me…
