An acoustic version of ‘Sonnet’, written and performed by Richard Ashcroft, features on this year’s eagerly anticipated John Lewis Christmas advert.

"Songs like Sonnet… they’re so powerful, they’re beyond me and I think that’s an exciting thing" Richard Ashcroft said, talking on Radio X. 

The John Lewis Christmas adverts - and the music that soundtracks them - have become a yearly ‘moment’ that marks the start of the festive season in the UK.
