I hope it's going to be long by EP standards – and I hope the feature will be full-lenghth! Perhaps the EP will be the additional songs that are not from TMoC, and the film will have a combination. Anyhow, it WILL be lovely!

I think it will be similar to an O Christmas Tree album, 4-6 songs. The difference is that this time it will only be digital, and OCT was only physical  ;D

I am SO excited about this! I'm glad it's not exclusively a physical copy anymore because I get most of my music digitally now. I wonder if each girl will have a solo and then one or two group numbers! Like with OCT, Meav, Lisa L, and Susan had solos. I can't wait to find out what the tracklist is!

So excited to hear this on Friday! I'm hoping for all songs that they haven't done previously as I love to have brand new music to listen to. But either way it'll be wonderful!

Yeah. I wonder if it’s all new.

O Holy Night, The Toys' Waltz and Silent Night are what I can find so far. I fear it's only three songs, and only one new. Alas, I hope the filmed thingy will have more! But I am sure the songs will all be lovely.

Apple Music New Zealand now has the EP out for pre-release.

FUN FACT: "The Toys' Waltz" was actually composed by Daragh O'Toole himself (not especially for the group, though.)!

Four songs! And previews! I'm delighted!

Edit: Now that I've listened to the previews... I love the voices. Great harmonies. In some ways it feels all a little cold/flat. I love I Saw Three Ships. All in all amazing, but I miss the CW warmth... but that was already lacking in the Murphy era. The new version of Silent Night is without doubt my favourite out of the more recent ones, although the ACC is best.

2 - O Holy Night

Any chance you could tell me who features on each track?

It's gorgeous! The full tracks are so much better than the previews! It really feels like new music from old CW.

Very interesting to hear the combination of Susan with Megan since Postcards. This vibe release feels a lot like Home For Christmas when Chloe did the album now Susan on the EP beginning. I do wish Alex and Lynn had had a Christmas recording treatment with Celtic Woman. They done in Caranua but it's not the same. Toys in Waltz does sound Caranuaish style tho to me by this preview!😁 I'm all for this!!!!
