Rolf Harris, the Australian/British musician, singer, composer, painter, has released a single, Christmas in the Sun, recorded in association with Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt. The Christmas video, released by Universal Music, is designed to compete with the X Factor single for the Number One spot in the UK Christmas charts.
79 year old Rolf Harris and 61 year old Rick Parfitt (ukelele and lead guitar) work with guitarist Wayne Morris to celebrate the memories of growing up in Western Australia. The track was recorded in Red Cube Studio in Hamburg, Germany with producer Wolfgang Birnbacher.

Rolf Harris has also created artwork to accompany the song and these will be auctioned on eBay from December 9 for 10 days with all proceeds going to Australian charity The Smith Family.
It’s a pity the video is so blurry. Is this deliberately blurring over the age lines or is it about nostalgic dreaming of the past?
