The Academy of Contemporary Music’s (ACM) Electron Choir got the once in a lifetime opportunity to sing alongside pop legend Rod Stewart.

The opportunity arose after BBC 6 Music’s Shaun Keaveny wrote a Christmas song Please Don’t Give Me Anything For Christmas after interviewing Rod on his radio show.

ACM’s Electron Choir lays down a track.

The track, which is free to download, features Mark King of Level 42 on bass, guitar by Bernard Butler (Suede/The Venus in Furs) and of course, backing vocals to Rod Steward’s lead by the ACM Electron Choir.

It was premiered on Shaun’s 6 Music breakfast show on December 8. To listen to the song click here .
