Sam Preston says, “One of the first songs I wrote after The Ordinary Boys was ‘Heart Skips A Beat’. It somehow went on to become a colossal Number One for Olly who, to my amazement, turned out not only to be a gifted singer, performer and songwriter, but also an admirer of The Ordinary Boys. We’ve had great fun recording together over the years, and ‘Christmas Starts Tonight’ is no exception. Born from the bones of ‘Run This Town’, a tune that had been languishing in a dusty folder on Olly’s phone for fifteen years, it has finally been granted a new life as a Yuletide anthem. A small seasonal miracle, really.”

Last month Olly released his brand new album Knees Up. Packed to the brim with feel good tunes, including the incredibly infectious first single ‘Save Me’, the ska infused ‘Bonkers’ and fun time single ‘Run This Town’, which Olly recently performed on Strictly Come Dancing. Knees Up sees Olly return to his roots for the eighth LP in his glittering career.
