St Paul's Hall is the perfect setting for a 16 strong orchestra premiering 6 songs in UK, a converted church seems to welcome the sound of harps, violins and oboes floating around past its 15 feet tall stained glass windows and huge stone archways with greater aplomb than a classroom or a cloth covered warehouse ever could.

The doors of the Parish swing open again for another bargain Friday evening of entertainment, tonight though is different somehow. There are beanbags lining the walls and candles adorning every surface in sight. It must be a night of mellow acoustic styling in everyone's favourite pub.

So people took the power back and elected Rage Against The Machine to be their Christmas number 1 On the surface it is a huge moral victory for the silent majority who don't feel they have a say in the mainstream charts.
