Tipperary busker Dàwna does cover of the Christmas classic Fairytale of New York

Irish buskers Dàwna (Tipperary) and Jamie McIntyre (Galway) have combined their musical talents to release their version of the Christmas classic, Fairytale of New York.

The two met when they were selected by Gavin James to join him as support on tour in Paris earlier this year as part of Three’s City Stages initiative and hit it off.

Dàwna recently joined Jamie as special guest on his first ever headline show, a sold-out room at The Loft in Galway, where they performed this version of Fairytale of New York for the first time.

Jamie has been riding the crest of a wave this year with his summer single “Over Galway Town” becoming a viral smash hit amassing over 1.6 million streams on Spotify alone and maintaining a place in the viral charts across the summer as well as performing at Electric Picnic and supporting Liverpudlian songwriter Jamie Webster on his recent shows at 3Olympia in Dublin and The Telegraph Building in Belfast.

Dàwna has had an equally eventful year and has a close connection with the festive hit as he performed at the official unveiling of the Shane McGowan mural in Nenagh back in October with the legendary Pogue singer's family in attendance. He recently released his latest single “Meant To Be”, performing live on Virgin Media’s Six O’Clock show.
