Kathryn Williams, the Mercury-nominated, folk inspired singer-songwriter, has added to her impressive list of previous collaborators this Christmas by teaming up with celebrated poet Carol Ann Duffy. 'Midnight Chorus' marks the meeting of two of our most gifted writers, from uplifting festive celebrations 'Hang Fire', 'Hidden Meanings' and previous single 'Snow Angel', (a wholesome, nostalgic piece that paints a wonderful picture of a small-town family home in the lead-up to Christmas Day) through to the more tender 'Christmas Moon' and 'Mary's Cariad', it's pointedly, made up of twelve emotive tales with beautifully heart-warming, classic instrumentation, dexterous musicality and layered harmonies. These tracks are true, equal collaborations and reflect their ease and delight in composing together.
