After being shortlisted as One To Watch For 2018 by\u00a0The Independent<\/a>, and had her new single \u2018Thought It Was Gonna Be Me\u2019 lead the Music Week playlist, country-pop star Catherine McGrath has released her version of the classic track \u2018All I Want For Christmas Is You\u2019.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\nBringing her remarkable year of success to a close, Catherine has stripped-back the energetic pop of the original to perform a beautiful and warming acoustic ballad. No jingle bells, just her gorgeous voice and melodic guitar-playing to get you ready for the festive season.It comes after the announcement of her first UK headline show at the Camden Assembly in March, which sold-out in less than 24 hours. She has now added two more headline dates at Manchester\u2019s Deaf Institute on May 1st<\/sup>\u00a0and London\u2019s Bush Hall on the 2nd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Following her two acclaimed EP\u2019s\u00a0One\u00a0and\u00a0Starting From Now, Catherine is now due to release her debut album\u00a0Talk Of This Town, in spring next year via Warner Bros. Records.<\/p>\n

The first single from the record, and title-track, saw her first airplay on BBC Radio 1 and premiered with The Independent who tipped her as\u00a0\u201ca promising young artist poised to join the best of the UK’s growing country music scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
