It\u2019s not a song, it\u2019s a movement.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irish Women In Harmony return with their eagerly awaited festive season single, \u2018Together At Christmas\u2019.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The original song was written and produced by RuthAnne, with all parts recorded remotely by 30 of Ireland\u2019s finest female musicians. \u2018Together at Christmas\u2019 features a clever use of familiar Christmas song lyrics and also includes a choir of young Irish girls after a call out was made to the next generation of aspiring female singers.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Earlier this year, Irish Women In Harmony made a nationwide call out in search of singers for a \u2018Tween Choir\u2019 that would feature the voices of Irish girls under the age of 12, as part of the Christmas single.<\/p>\n

Over 1,500 entries were received from across the country, which was narrowed down to 50 semi-finalists and lastly, the lucky 18 were chosen. Like all other members of #IWIH, the children recorded their parts for the song remotely and sent them to RuthAnne, who put it all together like only she can. This choir of next generation voices was an integral part of magic around creating the single. Through lending their voices to the track, these young Irish women have had both the opportunity to be a part of Irish Women In Harmony, and the opportunity to support their fellow children through Childline.<\/p>\n

Irish Women In Harmony\u2019s cover of Dreams by The Cranberries, released earlier this year, captured the hearts of the nation. A collective of Irish female artists came together while physically apart to create something powerful, in an effort to raise awareness and support for women in need. All of this, during one of the most challenging periods of our generation. The track lifted spirits across the country, with many echoing the words, \u2018it\u2019s not a song, it\u2019s a movement\u2019.<\/p>\n

In its first week, the single hit number 1 in the official homegrown chart, making the group the first female act ever to do so. It was also the highest new entry in the official charts at number 15, making Irish Women In Harmony the first female Irish act to break the Top 20 in over 10 years.<\/p>\n

‘Dreams’ was also number 2 in the Irish airplay chart and number 1 in the Breaking Tunes chart. The track has just passed 3 million streams on Spotify and the group have almost 300,000 Spotify monthly listeners.<\/p>\n
