To mark the release of his Christmas album – ‘The Christmas Present’ – which comes out today, Williams performed five tracks to the audience. Williams sang ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’, ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ and ‘Winter Wonderland’, plus his classics ‘Angels’ and ‘Feel’.

In a starred review of his latest album, NME wrote: “We’ve heard these songs so often it would have taken a Christmas miracle for even a pop legend of Robbie’s stature to make them new.

“Still, his longtime collaborator and co-producer Guy Chambers has brought a great deal of warmth to this collection – newbie ‘Time For A Change’ comes on like ‘Strong’ with bells and whistles on. You‘d be a real Scrooge to deny ‘The Christmas Present’.”
