about

Galway-based folk duo Niall Teague and Padraic Joyce release their new single “Another Merry Christmas”, on Friday, November 24th.

“Another Merry Christmas”, is what we’re all hoping for. Through the storms, wars, and grief, in our own lives and across the world, the thought of holding our nearest and dearest close whilst the snow falls softly amongst twinkling fairy lights never fails to sustain us through long, sometimes lonely winter nights.

Niall Teague and Padraic Joyce, with the help of the Contempo Quartet and some of the finest musicians Ireland has to offer have distilled that yearning into a song that seems familiar but is altogether new. With soaring strings, chiming guitars, glistening rhythms and voices that beckon you to fly above the darkness outside the window, their invitation stands open to all:
It’s time to leave all your woes behind, to forget about the year gone by and to get in the mood for:
“Another Merry Christmas!”
Fresh from touring their Grammy shortlisted album “What Will We Be”, Niall and Padraic, award- winning songwriters in their own right (International PanCeltic Songwriting Contest 2019, Oireachtas Original Song Contest 2021), are gunning to be a decade long overnight success with a song that celebrates both their love of the Yuletide season and hook-filled classic songwriting.


The arrangement ticks all the boxes you could wish for in a seasonal classic and really gets the festive spirit flowing. From its opening intimate vocal delivery with Eleanor Rigby-like cello accompaniment, to its climactic closing passage, the song is bursting with Christmas energy. Contributions from percussion wizard Jim Higgins (The Stunning, Christy Moore, Paul Brady), Galway drumming legend Miki Belton and bassist Maidhc O’hÉanaigh really shine.

lyrics

Another Merry Christmas
Lyrics and music by Niall Teague and Padraic Joyce

Verse 1
If your feeling lonely this season
And Happy Christmas has lost all meaning
Think of me, and maybe you’ll recall
That we’ll be side by side
This coming Christmas night

Verse 2
Then snowflakes instead of tears are falling
You’re not alone with friends and family calling
We’ll never let you down
Theres’s wonder all around you

Chorus
Come along with and see
And maybe this could be
Another merry Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Bridge
Woah oh oh, woah oh, oh oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh, oh oh oh
Woah oh oh, woah oh, oh oh oh oh

Verse 3
let this be our very merry Christmas
We can fill our hearts with mistletoe time kisses
Hope and happiness is here
This good be our lucky year

Chorus
