‘In The Bleak Midwinter’ inspires Larissa Tormey’s latest musical endeavor
Larissa Tormey has tradition of performing the timeless classic ‘In The Bleak Midwinter’ at various Christmas events, but this year marked a turning point as she decided to 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,” said the Kilbeggan based singer.
“It felt like the perfect time to commit it to a recording.”
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Kevin Whyms lent his expertise to the production of the track, skillfully 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 starts 2024 with a concert alongside PJ Murrihy on January 2h at Tuar Ard, Moate. It follows the success of their duet, ‘I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me’, which was featured on Murrihy’s latest album and is Larissa’s most viewed video on YouTube.
Larissa thanks the DJs who have been sharing her music, in Ireland and abroad. She also looks forward to celebrating her 10th anniversary in the music business in 2024.
“I hope to have you all as a music friends for at least another 10 years!” she said. “And I am wishing all the 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!”
Larissa’s rendition of ‘In The Bleak Midwinter; is available on streaming platforms from today, December 18.
