Christmas Biscuits Cover Art SVP LogoTwo of Dublin’s top singer songwriters, Mark Geary and Glen Hansard have joined forces this festive season for a special charity song.

Both men have donated their time to record a track written by Mark Geary when he was living in New York and missing his home city of Dublin. He felt that St. Vincent De Paul was the perfect fit for the song which sums up the range of emotions many of us experience at this time of year.

Christmas should be a happy time for everybody but unfortunately it’s not. It’s great to see these two songwriters coming together and attempt to spread some extra joy around this Christmas.

“Christmas Biscuits” will help raise awareness and generate revenue for SVP alongside their Toy Appeal which is being launched on November 20th. The track itself will be released on Friday 29th November on iTunes.

Glen Hansard is currently on tour in Europe and coming back to Ireland with 2 shows in Dublin’s Vicar St. on November 25th and 26th. Mark and his band are doing support for Glen on the 25th. Mark is also currently on tour and will be playing a Christmas show in Grand Social, Dublin on Saturday December 28th. Tickets for all shows are available on www.ticketmaster.ie.
