Excellent ad. Especially when you see it late on xmas eve night.

YouTube FTW.

I had a quick look on youtube for the add, didn't come up with the one we are looking for. Maybe it was there and I just missed it.

I looked too and it doesn't seem to be there.

Its a bit strange, youtube usually have all of the telly adds.

I spent ages looking for it last night. It's not on the Guinness site, even though it has loads of adverts on it. The only possibility I found was on a site called absolutelyandy.com . He's some weird guy in Derby, who's collated loads of his favourite ads on his site. When I Googled it, it came up under his site, but I've searched the page and can't find it anywhere.
I did find out though, that the music is from an album called "A Christmas Proclamation" by composer John Tavener.

Scraggs

Guinness.com have all the ads on it so I'd say theres a good chance that ones there.

il gatto

I tried that. They have loads of ads, but not the Christmas one Tis the season? Not on Guinness.com it isn't.

It has to be out there somewhere.......................:(

This was only on like last year or the year before wasn't it? I didn't think it would be so hard to find! I spent ages the other night too lookin for it, no luck! Maybe we should email Guinness?!

I found the track listing on Amazon.co.uk and they have samples for all the tracks and none of them sound like the Guinness ad

Like all ads it's proberly only a short sample of the song, with the rest being nothing like it... always makes it harder to find

You sure it's not there though ?

Ah yes laddy, I remember the days when snow looked that magical and Guinness were actually brewed in Ireland and us superbly brave Irish fellows would come home through 5 miles in snow with no shoes every day to beat our wives and marry off our children.

Good times.

If you have nothing better to do go down on New Year's Eve and watch the date on the wall change.
It's amazing the way they do it.

Do explain...

Keep an eye out on the Guinness site.. not there now but most others are.
