Sleigh Ride | The Ronettes Christmas Acoustic Cover

[@kaunedtamton6988]

Hey Mat and Sophie, This version is perfect for my Christmas Playlist. Has the island home touch and sound with the guitar & ukulele 🎶 Your music has reached the beautiful islands of Fiji 🇫🇯 And so from a distant fan, I'd like to wish you both an early Merry Christmas and I wish the same to everyone else reading this comment 😁

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hello Kauned and thank you soooo much: This comment has absolutely made our day :) We're so glad you enjoyed this and we're delighted to know it'll be going on your playlist this Christmas. Please spare a thought for those of us shivering over here on this considerably colder island of the UK, and have yourself a wonderful time over the festive period!! Mat & Sophie xx

Hello Liesbeth! Ah thank you so much :) Hope you're having a nice time leading up to Christmas and thank you sooo much for hopping over to say hello... your support means the world to us :) xxx

[@kimhardin-hudson]

Aww this is lovely you two! The ukulele gives it a bit of a warm, tropical feel. Nice choice! So glad your relationship survived the key changes! 😂😉🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️‍🔥

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Haha yeah it was touch and go for a minute, but no lasting damage was inflicted. Bloody Phil Spector… 😂 You’re the second person to mention the slightly tropical feel: it never occurred to us but now you mention it it absolutely does sound like that… maybe we could clean up next year and put together a whole album of island style Christmas numbers… “Hawaii In A Manger”?! That MUST be taken…

[@ThePaddedPedalroom]

@@TheDistanceDuo no worries, my pleasure to play your music, you guys rock!

[@niallon]

I've never been a massive fan of this song in it's original form to be honest, delighted to have my opinion swung by a cover from you two, not for the first time either! Nice work!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Oh thanks Niallon, that’s a huge compliment - glad we were able to turn you around. Christmas songs are generally tricky: no one has a Christmas number in their all time top ten!

[@GLuzMusic]

Good call going with the Phil Spector intro, and a really good, warm arrangement. Gold once again, gang!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey Greg! Thanks so much man, we're so glad you enjoyed it :) xx Thanks also for downloading the EP on Bandcamp - very kind of you and we really appreciate the support. Hope you're doing well and have yourself a happy holiday!

[@GLuzMusic]

@@TheDistanceDuo you got it! Always a pleasure hearing new stuff from you guys. Plus at this point between the three EPs and the Snow single, we got ourselves a boba fide holiday album! Cheers!

[@Empirism]

Awesome as always ^_ ^ Loved the ukulele :D

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey Empirism - thank you very much bud and thanks for dropping in on the premiere! xx

[@wilderfier]

That's wonderful!! Very cool guitar and beautiful tone from both of you. Glad I met you in Ron's chat!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hello w?fi!! Oh thank you very much, that's really kind of you :) xx Nice to meet you too - keep up the fantastic work bud: we're just listening to 'Can't Get You Out Of My M?nd' - it's flipping awesome! Is that you on vocals?

[@wilderfier]

@@TheDistanceDuo Thank you! I think I remember you hitting the 🔔 but if you haven't please do! How did you guys get that string quality it's so clean!!!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey! Yes, we sure have! Oh thank you - we use Neumann klm184s - Soph xx

[@wilderfier]

@@TheDistanceDuo Wow awesome, seriously one of the nicest acoustic recording qualitites I've heard. Thank you! Have you heard Summertime? I think you would really enjoy it.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Ah thanks so much Bud :) xx Do you mean the old Jazz Standard? God yes, it's such a beautiful song and we've been meaning to look at it for a while now. The list never seems to get any smaller!!

[@МаксимПредолоба]

good job

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Thank you!

[@eeddingt]

Wonderful! It feels like this has always been a ukulele song! Sophie’s voice is divine! I’m glad you didn’t bother with 2 empty halves of coconut in the intro. I’m sure it crossed your mind.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Haha! Thank you Ed!! No we couldn't find and coconuts... mat tried banging his plums together but now he has to wear a special cast... Oh by the way - Don't buy this on Bandcamp: We'll be sending you a free download code via Patreon in the next couple of weeks... you're welcome!! xx

[@marybutler625]

This is amazing! Do you have it out on Spotify?

[@TheDistanceDuo]
