‘We Cut Corners have recorded a version of ‘Stop The Cavalry’, the classic Christmas song, written by Jona Lewie and originally recorded by him in 1980. It will be released digitally on Friday 5th December, and all proceeds from iTunes downloads are for the benefit of First Fortnight 2015.

Conall and John from We Cut Corners say about the single, “It’s our favourite Christmas song and since we first played it live in Dick Mack’s pub in Dingle during Other Voices a couple of years back, we’ve wanted to record it for Christmas. When we were asked to be part of First Fortnight 2015, it seemed like the perfect time to make that happen. We’ve been very lucky to have the help of some great musicians to include strings and brass on the recording, which we finished just a few days ago in Orphan Studios in Dublin. Hopefully it can play a part in raising awareness for First Fortnight 2015, and with some downloads make a contribution towards this year’s fundraising for the charity.”

We Cut Corners will headline the First Fortnight Festival at The Button Factory on Saturday 10th January 2015.
