Tom Chaplin has unveiled the stunning music video for his single Midnight Mass. Be warned that it might bring you a tear or two.

Taken from his acclaimed new album Twelve Tales of Christmas, the video was shot in East London amongst a mass of Tom’s friends and family, their beloved dogs and stars Dudley Sutton, one of Tom’s acting heroes (who starred in the 90’s classic TV show Lovejoy). Watch it below!


Based on a true story, the video captures a reality not always explored in Christmas music.  It touches on loneliness and isolation but ultimately embraces the true spirit of the song and the festive season in its coming together. It’s as heartfelt as the music, which was recorded with a choir and full orchestra at Abbey Road’s Studio 2.

Speaking about the video Tom said,
As far as quirky festive videos go, this one is right up there. It’s based on a true story of an old guy who ran a London dog club. He died shortly before Christmas without any close family and friends around him but a memorial was held and attended entirely by the owners of the dogs from his club...and, of course, their faithful friends.
