Irish singer/songwriter Janet Devlin has surprise-released a full-length YouTube Christmas Special. This seasonal offering features her original Christmas songs and covers, alongside a rendition of “Fairytale of New York” with fellow collaborator and artist Maddox Jones.

In the wake of her deluxe album release, Not My First Emotional Rodeo, Janet and label OKGood Records devised a special program of her Christmas releases to bring the festive spirit to her fans and followers.

Janet Devlin explains:

This Christmas special is something that I’ve been wanting to do for so long and it finally came into being! I’m so grateful to my label and fans as I was able to bring together a wonderful group of musicians to help make this a reality. Of course, I had to have John and Mike to accompany me, and I was lucky enough to have the amazing Marc Rapson (a.k.a. ‘Mr Vox’) on keys.

Even manager Rick came out of retirement to play the drums and the all-important jingle bells! Having some of my dearest fans in the room made it all the more special. I had a blast and definitely left the studio that day feeling VERY festive! I loved sharing the experience with Maddox – he’s such a beautiful soul and an exceptional writer, I might have known that we’d have a brilliant time!

Recorded live at George Ezra’s Hotel Québec Recording Studio in Hertford, UK, Devlin welcomed a specially invited audience to experience the session.

After taking part in the Country music live scene in 2025, Devlin is already lining up appearances throughout 2026 at Country Calling and In It Together Festival with more to be announced in the coming weeks.
