An all-singing family have captured the imagination of people around the globe with their cover of Leonard Cohen’s classic tear-jerker. The musically-blessed family have over 5.2k subscribers on their YouTube channel and have racked up over 11k likes of their new song.
Last year the Kent family performed their own rendition of the Les Misérables classic One Day More becoming viral sensations and making waves across the world appearing on ITV s This Morning and making Holly Willoughby shed a tear to two.
The rendition of Leonard Cohen s song Hallelujah has been re-done as Have the New Jab featuring Tess, eight, Ella, 11, and their history lecturer dad Dr Ben Marsh.
Amazingly, in just three days their newest video has already received more views than One Day More, and has been praised by medics across the country.
The Marsh family have continued to entertain viewers throughout the pandemic
Titled Have the New Jab, it is a rendition of Leonard Cohen s song Hallelujah.
It features Tess, eight, Ella, 11, and their dad Dr Ben Marsh, 44, who is a history lecturer at the University of Kent in Canterbury. Theyâve both got lovely voices, Dr Marsh said. We have been singing a lot over the break and theyâve been getting Zoom lessons from their grandma.
