Updated: Dec 12, 2018

We hope that this collection puts you in the holiday Spirit



Ed Sheeran

Fairytale of New York

The original version by the Pogues featuring the late Kristy MacColl is one our favorites. Check out the Pogues version here and please let us know which version you prefer.



 



Celtic Women

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Classic Christmas Carol beautifully performed live at the Helix Center for Performing Arts in Dublin City.




 

Band Aid 1984

Do they know it's Christmas?

Written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in reaction to television reports of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. It was first recorded in a single day on 25 November 1984 by Band Aid


 

The Corrs

So this is Christmas (War is Over)

While many artists have paid tribute to this classic John Lennon anthem, we love the Corrs version. Lyrics included for your Karaoke pleasure!





 

Enya

Oiche Chiuin (Silent Night)

This is a favorite Hymn and especially moving performed in the Irish Language. The lyrics are included so you can sing along if you dare.



 

The Chieftains

The Bells of Dublin

With the bell-ringers of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin this lively tune is certain to set your foot tapping.
