A very merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

A Very Merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

'Tis just weeks before Christmas, and here at Cheltenham Festivals we're beginning to feel distinctly, well, Festive! To celebrate this jolliest of seasons we asked the stars of this year's Literature Festival to share with us a special Christmas Memory.

Every day of advent we'll be unwrapping a different Christmas Memory for your delight and delectation. And as an extra-special treat, every Festive-Friday we'll be hearing from our Festival Directors and giving away Festive-al prizes galore!

So sit back, grab a mince pie and unwrap a very special Festive-al memory...

11th December: Pianists playing...

It's just two weeks to go until the big day,and today's Festive-al prize comes from the Music Festival.

Today we are giving away a copy of Razor Blades, Little Pills & Big Pianos by pianist James Rhodes. James was a huge hit at this year's Music Festival, and this CD features captures that brilliance with pieces by Bach, Chopin and Beethoven. To be in with a chance of winning this stunning CD and a festival goody bag, just identify today's mystery star.

We spoke to today's Norwegian star at the Music Festival in July. He's played all over the world, so we asked him what makes Cheltenham so special. Press play below to hear his answer…
