Josh Wilson will be releasing his first full-length Christmas album next week.

Noel is out on 9 October from Sparrow Records and will include a mix of holiday classics like The First Noel, Do You Hear What I Here, and Angels We Have Heard On High.

The album is the follow up to his highly successful tour, Noel: A Unique Christmas Experience, now in its third year.

The release will also feature Wilson’s No 1 Christmas single of 2011 “Jesus is Alive”.

Wilson hits the road for this year's Noel tour on 29 November. It's a packed season for him, as he'll be taking in 18 cities right up to 23 December when the tour wraps up in Umatilla, Florida.

During the tour, Wilson will be telling fans more about Three Avocados, the non-profit coffee ministry he supports.

The ministry provides clean water in Uganda and will be selling coffee at each of the tour dates.
