A Christmas album performed by Robb Johnson & The Irregulars
___________________________________________________________________________________
The Ghost Of Love tells the story of Mary, unmarried mother of god, possibly, from Feltham, definitely, and Gary, carpenter and Brentford fan, and their two children, Jay and Jimmy, through their various Christmas experiences. These experiences involve such traditional festive rituals and icons as Father Christmas, the workplace social, homelessness, poverty, too much red wine, Bethlehem, Boxing Day football and Sir Cliff Richard.

The song suite comprises 12 songs, featuring Johnson’s trademark penchant for the darkly comic, with a generous helping of festive social criticism and a couple of good old-fashioned relationship ballads thrown in for good measure.
