The festive season officially bagan last night following Amsterdam’s Christmas show and party at the Borderline in London.

Paulie resumed his new role, kicking things off by singing the call-to-arms intro from Takin’ on the world, and with the crowd happy to help out for the duration of the set, it wasn’t long before the packed venue was in full Christmas party mode.

With the lovely Anna Jenkins helping out on violin for some of the older numbers, the set included:
