As we edge ever closure to the big day, we are presenting to you some Christmas songs by Irish artists that you may or may not have heard before. Yesterday we went back to 1979 and today we are going back just a few years 2009 with a song from two of Ireland’s musical darlings.
Most Advent Calendars offer you a chocolate for your endeavours, but for opening our link, we’ll reward you with a video from an Irish act from across the years. We’ll be using a mix of playful tracks, covers and originals by Irish artists of all varieties. There is no specific order to it, it’s not a top 25, it’s more 25 great tracks we want to share.
Lisa Hannigan and Mick Flannery are two artists that have for many years been revered as two of the best in the past few decades. Their soothing vocals and easy listening music individually are astounding, so it was no surprise that this collaboration on Other Voices 3 years ago cause quite a stir. Enjoy this beautifully melancholic song, Christmas Past.
