Listen: Kolumbus' Chirstmas Charity Single

'You Know Its Christmas' is a heart wrenching and thought provoking song released by Wicklow singer songwriter Mark Caplice.

Speaking about the single, songwriter Mark Caplice states, "I have seen the work put in by these charities and it's incredible. Anthony (Director, Inner City Helping Homeless), is on the streets at 4am supporting and helping those who haven't even got a roof over their head.. When we, the fortunate people, run from the house to the car and feel the cold around Christmas we tend to forget about those sleeping in the terrible winter weather on a weekly basis. It breaks my heart."

All proceeds from 'You know it's Christmas' are being donated to Inner City Helping Homeless, Dublin and The Lions Club Christmas Appeal in his hometown of Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow.

Inner City Helping Homeless have also released the following statement on Mark's gracious support.

''Inner City Helping Homeless are delighted to be involved in what can only be described as an unbelievable piece of song writing. The spirit of Christmas has been captured both through the lyrics and video. Mark Caplice & Conor O'Reilly have really portrayed the spirit of giving within the piece, for a voluntary organisation such as ourselves to have the opportunity to be involved in this is spectacular. All funds raised through the sale of this single will be donated to Inner City Helping Homeless & The Baltinglass Lions, we are asking all our supporters to get behind the single, homelessness is finally become a topic of serious discussion this year particularly around the Christmas period. The single really allows us to highlight that and whilst doing so, help two wonderful organisations. Lets make magic happen this Christmas!!! ''
