Sky TV's Tinsel Town film helps fund brilliant Knaresborough music video for Christmas
Musical talent from across Knaresborough has got together to create a new Christmas song with a video shot in one of the town’s finest churches.
The new release is a collaborative affair including St John’s Choir Knaresborough, ‘Singing Conductor’ Paul Mirfin and Knaresborough Town Crier Mark Hunter, who arranged the new version of the classic Christmas Carol originally written in 1818 by Austrian composer Franz Gruber.
The lead vocals on the superb track are provided by Paul Mirfin, the multi-talented and likable railwayman on the Harrogate-York-Leeds line who first won fame when his band was featured on BBC TV’s Songs of Praise.
Paul Mirin said: “Myself and my wife Nicola Mirfin first performed Mark’s version of Silent Night together last Christmas with the choir and decided it would be good to get in the recording studio to record it.
"We received funding from Knaresborough Town council star awards as they were given some funds from Sky TV for filming Tinsel Town in Knaresborough.
"We are grateful to St John’s Church and Knaresborough Town Council for the Nomination For Special Arts Award.
