International success as Irish Blessing reaches No.2 in Christian Charts

The Irish Blessing, originally released in May, came second to its UK counterpart in the UK Christian Music Chart for July after a public vote.

Co-producer, Fr Martin Magill, says the team are “absolutely delighted” with the result, and prays that it continues to a blessing for people around the world.

Speaking to The Irish Catholic, Fr Magill said: “We as a team are absolutely delighted – we wanted this to be a blessing for people, we’re delighted that it has been and pray that it continues to be so.”

In a statement, the creators thanked all those who voted for the Irish Blessing, hailing it a “great achievement”.

“The Irish Blessing was, in part, inspired by the many beautiful renditions of The Blessing from every corner of the earth,” they said. “It seems fitting that we find ourselves beside the beautiful version sung by our nearest neighbours in this chart.”
