With bells on

Sinéad O'Connor has been unveiled as the special guest on It's All Bells, the 15-track Christmas CD that benefits the Multi Sensory Project in Kildare.

Sinéad plays Kirsty MacColl to Damien Dempsey's Shane MacGowan on a suitably rollicking update of 'Fairytale Of New York'.

The collection's other stand-outs include Dave Couse 'Blue Christmas', Damien Rice 'Merry Xmas (War Is Over)', Dara 'Merry Christmas Baby', Dr. Millar 'The Christmas Song', Lisa Hannigan 'Silent Night' and Turn 'Dream On Me'.
