New Winter Single Named One Of The Best Christmas Week releases in Ireland
For years, Larissa Tormey has held a cherished tradition of performing the timeless classic, "In The Bleak Midwinter," at various Christmas events. However, this year marked a special turning point as the artist decided to immortalize this beautiful piece of music and release it as a Christmas single.
"I've carried the sentiment of 'In The Bleak Midwinter' with me for years, singing it annually at Christmas events. It felt like the perfect time to commit it to a recording," expresses Larissa, reflecting on the significance of this traditional carol.
Renowned multi-instrumentalist and producer Kevin Whyms lent his expertise to the production of this track, skilfully enriching it with his emotive guitar playing. The collaboration has resulted in a rendition that showcases the essence of folk music while adding a contemporary flair.
Larissa Tormey continues her folk and singer-songwriter music journey by starting the New Year with a concert alongside PJ Murrihy on January 26th at Tuar Ard, Moate. This follows the success of their duet, "I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me," which was featured on Murrihy's latest album and stands as Larissa's most viewed video on YouTube, showcasing their musical chemistry and mutual passion for folk music.
Expressing gratitude, Larissa extends a heartfelt thank you to the DJs who have been sharing her music both within Ireland and abroad, contributing to Larissa’s decade-long musical journey. The artist also looks forward to celebrating her 10th anniversary in the music business in 2024, a testament to her dedication and passion for creating music that resonates.
“I hope to have you all as a music friends for at lease another 10 years! And I am wishing all the very best and Happy Christmas and A Very Happy New Year to all the DJs and, of course, to all my dedicated fans, who I am very grateful to!”
