We end our seasonal review of the best of Kirstycovers with Kathy Halter performing the Ray Davies song but perennial Kirsty favourite ‘Days’, accompanied by her Music Box.

We like the performance and video production on this cover from MzMieux and the Bandhub members.  In these shoes?  Really?

Enjoy Fifteen Minutes with Sean Paul Connolly (a first appearance for the Autoharp in the festive highlights).  Is this the year for yours?

What better way to kick of the New Year than with Kirsty and Ade from the video for ‘Terry’?

Have a great 2019!

Get set for the Bells with Cory and Dad’s cover of Kirsty’s Tracey Ullman song.  We love it.

A cover of Kirsty MaColl’s classic by Caroline Gower, ‘a rusty old bird with a tenor ukulele’.

The Honey Badgers cover ‘In These Shoes?’

With apologies for not getting the festive ‘coverfest’ up and running sooner, here is Samuellificationable to get us rolling into January with her lovely garden take on England 2 …  more tomorrow!

Via twitter, writer Shane MacGowan explains why nobody should be getting all excited about the F word in Fairytale.  Which is fairly obvious really.

According to this BBC article,

The Daily Mail suggested in 2016 that the song could “bring in as much as £400,000 a year.”

Asked in 2008 by the BBC whether the song had provided him with his pension, Finer said: “I don’t know because I’m not of pensionable age. I’ll let you know when I’ve got my bus pass.”

Not exactly topical news, but then the real topical news is too depressing :o)
