The Marsh Family is a six-person family band from Kent, UK, who write and record their songs in their own home. Ever since the children were born, they have all loved music and sung together, and they have now reached a point where they are releasing their own music. They have previously performed on BBC Morning Live and also played on BBC Radio 2.

The Marsh Family have gone above and beyond by raising spirits in lockdown on the Jimmy Kimmel Live (2020), the BBC’s Comic Relief (2021) and even released a single to address the importance of and campaign for Prostate Cancer UK.

Luckily for us, they are back with their newest Christmas single, “In The Bleak” and with Christmas just right around the corner, it is the perfect track.

“In The Bleak” is a more laid-back, slow-paced festive tune, but it is absolutely beautiful. The musical side of this track is amazing, with the use of pianos and chime-like sounds, really adds to that Christmassy feel. The song builds up as it goes on, gaining some speed and power, which means you never feel bored whilst listening to it.

Every single vocalist in this single does an exceptional job. Although they all have their different sounds, every voice is unique and so skilful. I honestly could not pick which artist is my favourite as they are all just that good!

“In The Bleak” is one that will undoubtedly be added to my own personal playlist, as ever since I first heard it, I have just kept playing it on repeat! I don’t think I can recommend this song enough and give it the justice that it deserves, so honestly go and give it a listen too!

The Marsh Family have created an out of this world song, and I cannot wait to see what else they have in store for us.
