Following a visit to Dublin's Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross last Christmas, where she sang a selection of her personal seasonal favourites, Andrea Corr has been inspired to release an EP of festive songs.
Andrea Corr Christmas Songs features four songs that she says had a special place in her memories of her childhood Christmases, including one personal favourite her late father would sing at mass every Christmas.
The new EP features her versions of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, O Holy Night, In The Bleak Mid-Winter, and Begin Again, a new song written by Andrea.
"These are songs that I grew up with, my father played O Holy Night in our church every Christmas Eve when we were kids," she says.
"We had been planning this record since my visit to the hospice last year - and then the world changed, and the lyrics took on a whole new and special meaning."
