It’s a case of keeping it in the family as Lorraine McDonald, lead singer with The Conquerors, launches her first Christmas single, Wrap Me Up for Christmas. She is joined by her brother, Keith, who sings with The Showband Show.

The song was composed by their uncle Peadar McDonald who lives in Florida and who was a member of The Ventures Showband.

Lorraine’s dad is Frankie McDonald, long-time member of Joe Dolan’s band and who now is part of a three-piece called Showband Sounds.

Her last single, The Fool, secured extensive airplay on the regional stations and also picked up some airtime on RTÉ Radio 1.
