Blending storytelling theatre and song, Charles Dickens' timeless Yuletide tale gets a musical update in this acoustic celebration of Christmas.

Slade star Noddy Holder narrates Dickens' classic story, adapted by Chris Bartlett, co-creator of the Edinburgh and West End hit 'Pete and Dud: Come Again'. In between, led by pianist Robert Webb, a line-up of very special guest vocalists Knox of the Vibrators, Simon Scardanelli, Marc Atkinson and Grace Solero perform unplugged versions of seasonal hits from the likes of Jethro Tull, The Pretenders, Greg Lake and more, as the story of Scrooge and his ghostly visitations gets retold with a modern music business twist Never Mind the Humbug!

The story so far... Eddie Scrooge is a mean-spirited and cold-hearted record label executive who has fallen out of love with music and cut off himself from his friends and family. One freezing cold Christmas Eve night, he is visited by the ghost of his dead music biz partner Jake Marley and an eerie night-time journey begins. Three Christmas Musical Spirits come to show him the error of his ways. By visiting his past, present and future, will Eddie again learn to love Christmas and Christmas songs and find harmony with everyone he knows?
