A Murray Christmas 2, the follow-up album to the phenomenally successful 2012 album A Murray Christmas launched today. Check out the video below.
As with the 2012 release, A Murray Christmas 2 will raise funds for the mental health charity Aware.
The album was launched today on RTÉ Radio 1’s John Murray Show at a broadcast live from Eason bookstore in Dundrum Town Centre.
The album was officially launched by Bill O’Herlihy, joined by album contributors Declan O’Rourke, Cathy Davey and Michael Harding.
RTÉ Radio 1 presenter John Murray says, “I'm delighted to be involved in such a creative project with some of Ireland's finest musical talent. This album is for a great cause too, Aware does amazing work for people with depression. There's hardly a family in Ireland that hasn't been touched by mental illness as I know only too well. It is so important for people and to have the support they need in tough times.”
A Murray Christmas 2 is available in all good record stores and book shops, on iTunes and RTÉ.ie/shop RRP: €9.99.
