Irish-Spanish artist Eric McGrath has had a fine year, releasing his Little Ripples in the summer to a very positive reaction, and now the multi-instrumentalist is hoping to give a bit back this festive season.

''Til I'm Back Home' is a heartfelt Christmas ode recorded with the aim of raising much needed funds for Make-A-Wish Ireland, a foundation that grants wishes to children suffering with life-threatening illnesses.

You can hear the song below, but please make a purchase to contribute to this very worthy cause.

McGrath officially launches the release in Whelan's this Saturday, November 24. A good way to spend the weekend. Head over to [link]www.facebook.com/EricMcGrathMusica[/link] for full details.
