The festive season has begun.
Villagers and Lisa Hannigan have released a cover of the Christmas song ‘The Little Drummer Boy’ on Domino today.
“Since I was a little boy this song by Katherine Kennicott Davis has captured my imagination more than any other Christmas carol. Such a dream to perform it alongside the incomparable voice of Lisa Hannigan.”
Listen to the cover here or on Spotify.
