Irish singer-songwriter Aimée reimagines her Christmas single 'Grafton Street Lights' with a powerful live studio performance featuring 20 talented young Irish singers.
Having just released a live studio version of her Christmas song, ‘ Grafton Street Lights ’, we speak with Aimée about creating opportunities for others, vulnerability in songwriting, and dealing with grief at Christmas time.

I hope I can do something to keep it going each year.” Back in October, Aimée put a call out on her Instagram for aspiring young singers to send through applications to join her in the studio, and with a massive volume of auditions to choose from, the Dublin singer knew this project was something very special. “ We were supposed to choose ten singers, but with over 400 incredible audition clips, we ended up choosing 2
