Her.ie and JOE’s Sunday Sessions Christmas special continues with the brilliant Hermitage Green.
Over the last two weeks we’ve brought you seven incredible Christmas covers from some of our favourite up-and-coming acts in the country.
The name Hermitage Green has been in circulation since brothers, Dan and Barry Murphy, took paintbrushes to a wall in Limerick after failing to create their own garden area. In recent years however that name has graced the poster boards in almost every venue across the country and the mighty men of Hermitage Green have taken their edgy traditional Irish sound to pastures across the seas to the UK, France, the Middle East, South Africa, the US and down under.
Song 8 comes courtesy of five-piece and their gorgeous rendition of ‘Walking In The Air’, a cover that is guaranteed to make you hit the reply button.
Hermitage Green’s album, ‘Hermitage Green – Live at Whelans’ is available to purchase now and you can check out the band’s upcoming end-of-year tour dates here.
COMPETITION: We’ve got two tickets for the lads’ show at Dublin’s Button Factory on December 20th up for grabs, check out The Sunday Sessions Twitter account for more details.
For more info and all of the band’s updates check out their official Facebook page, Twitter,website and YouTube channel.
