We've got an interview with main Jape man Richie Egan on our features page today.

The purpose behind the interview is a campaign started on Facebook encouraging music lovers to get the new Jape single 'Phil Lynott' to the Irish Christmas Number 1 slot.

You can read a short interview with Egan, during which he talks about his busiest year to date, his favourite Christmas songs, and his ambitions for 2009.

You'll also be able to hear a stream of the song on the same page.

The single is released a week from today - December 19th - which is plenty of time to spread the word to friends and family! Let's face it - does anyone actually want to be subjected to another emotionless cover of 'Hallelujah' over their Christmas dinner this year? Or would you rather an ode to one of Ireland's best-known and loved musicians?
