About The Record:

Christmas in Ireland, by Little Dublin Singers, is a collection of traditional and original Christmas carols sung in both English and Gaelic, capturing the festive spirit of Irish culture. Recorded in Dublin, the album features a blend of familiar tunes like Jingle Bells and The First Noel alongside Gaelic songs such as Don Oiche Ud I MBeithil (A Night in Bethlehem) and Ta Nead Ag An Dreoilin (The Wren Has a Nest), showcasing Ireland’s rich musical heritage. Its historical significance lies in its preservation of traditional Irish Christmas music, offering a unique blend of Celtic and holiday traditions during a time when Irish folk music was gaining global interest. The album, produced by Dave Dexter Jr. with Frank O’Kelly as chorus master, reflects mid-20th-century Irish choral arrangements, making it a cultural snapshot of its era. No specific tracks are noted as hit singles, as the album was more of a niche holiday release rather than a chart-topping pop record.
