A set of Swindon twins who reached national fame when they made the final of The Voice UK 2024 have now released a new Christmas single.
Billy and Louie, who appeared on the hit ITV singing show earlier this year, were selected to represent Team Sir Tom Jones in the final by the singing legend himself.
Following the release of their debut EP in September 2023, the twins have now released their first ever Christmas single.
Their unique and soulful rendition of the classic carol 'O Holy Night' is available on all music streaming platforms and to celebrate the release, they debuted the song live for the first time at a sold-out Christmas show.
The show was held in St Augustine's Church in Swindon, a historic venue that also appeared on ITV's The Voice, and the duo were joined on stage by an award-winning Swindon choir.

“We couldn’t wait to surprise our audience with a preview of our Christmas single,” said Billy.
“The acoustics at St Augustine’s are absolutely beautiful, and we were thrilled to bring the song to life in such a special place.”
Not only did they debut their new single at the church, but Billy and Louie also donated half of the ticket sales to St Augustine's Church as a thank-you for their generosity.
Over £1,000 has now been raised to help maintain and support the church’s activities.
The Swindon twins also recently performed at the Old Town Christmas Festival and were asked to turn on the Christmas lights in front of thousands.
Their busy schedule might be something they picked up from their mentor and singing legend Sir Tom Jones himself.
“One thing he has shown us so far is just that he's used every opportunity that has been given to him," the twins previously told the Adver.
“The Voice experience has helped with that perspective of entering into the industry. I feel a bit more now I've got a whole wealth of experience of this industry.
“We've got an incredible music scene, but it's not like London where opportunities are sort of everywhere.
“So if you've got an opportunity no matter how big or small, absolutely take it instantly because you don’t know where it's going to lead.”
