Jona Lewie (born John Lewis, 14 March 1947, Southampton) is an English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Although now one of Britain's (and, incidentally, Germany's) most familiar Christmas singles, "Stop the Cavalry" was not originally intended as a Christmas song indeed it was a no 1 Gold Record in France in the summer! In England, however, it was released in late November after the record label spotted the line referring to the festival: "'I wish I was at home, for Christmas'". Not only this but the specific style of the brass instruments and bells in the chorus are very noticeable as a 'Christmas' style theme. The melody is loosely based on a theme from Swedish Rhapsody No. 1 by Hugo Alfvén.

Hi gerdenshed,

your version is fantastic! :D Only today I found this song and your version is the bestest :-)

As English is not my mother language, i really love yours. How about making a vid with more of your voice? You truly have a nice voice colour, and I think good microphone would make a fantastic video... how about that?
