Síle Seoige Sings for Charity

She's been vocal about her appreciation of Kylie Minogue in the past (d'ya remember that tweet about her, eh, excitement at seeing Kylie in concert), but now Síle Seoige is having a bash at the music business herself.

The TV presenter and Gaelgeoir has enlisted a group of famous friends and two choirs to record a charity Christmas single.

'Maybe This Christmas' is an original song, co-written with songwriter Brian Flanagan and produced by Billy Farrell, which sees Seoige take the lead vocals and was pulled together in just three weeks.

She'll be backed by the Palestrina Choir, the Pro-Cathedral Girls' Choir and the Famous Faces Choir, featuring her aforementioned famous mates.

We've long been fans of Ms Seoige's style and we wish her all the best in her latest venture!
