With “Christmas in Belfast”, The Shamrocks deliver a sensitive, vibrant, almost tactile, postcard, where the Northern Irish capital reveals itself far from frozen clichés. No need for snow-capped mountains here: the magic hides in the market stalls, rain-slick pavements, the lights of City Hall, and the human warmth spilling out of the pubs. Irish folk acts as the guiding thread for a love-filled stroll, carried by generous harmonies and a collective breath, like a choir moving forward arm in arm. The city becomes a refuge, a shared setting where music, laughter, and raised glasses tell the story of a visceral attachment to a place some underestimate. “And I know you may think that it’s not much to see / But Christmas in Belfast is perfect to me”: this line sums up the song’s spirit, intimate and universal. Produced by Cormac Crummey, brought to the screen by Sam Kwan and Raymond Walsh, this musical love letter naturally finds its place under the curious eye of Slash Music.
“And I know you may think that it’s not much to see / But Christmas in Belfast is perfect to me” The Shamrocks
A group that takes Ireland on a journey
Behind this track lies a collective with an impressive trajectory. The Shamrocks, a five-voice vocal formation, boast two Emmy Awards and turn every stage into a giant Irish pub, from the Sydney Opera House to London’s West End. Their strength rests on a rare balance between Celtic heritage and contemporary songwriting, backed by millions of online views and a loyal community across the globe. Around Raymond Walsh, the project’s creator, Jack Walsh, Jimmy Johnston, Matthew Campbell, and Nathan Johnston shape a deeply collective artistic adventure.
