His new album, Live at the MAC, is out tomorrow.
Speaking about the album, Ciaran said: “With the timing of the shows in the mouth of Christmas and the Strings at my disposal it was a no brainer to attempt a Christmas classic."
"Ordinarily I would steer clear of such things but it felt like the right thing to at least try."
Set for release on December 9, Live at the Mac was recorded at Lavery’s landmark show in Belfast last December.
Playing with a string three piece, Ciaran performed a set featuring a host of his best known songs, as well as a number of covers including ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, ‘Streets Of Philadelphia’ and ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’. All tracks were scored for strings, by Belfast native Dan Byrne McCullough.
Lavery will be on tour in the UK this December in support of the release, ably supported by a string section.
