DMC does Fairytale of New York
Something for your stocking. DMC does Fairytale of New York, to get you in the mood.
Fairytale of 1997
Kirsty MacColl and Shane MacGowan performing Fairytale of New York on the Jack Docherty Show on Irish TV in 1997.
The song has stalled at No. 11 in the UK Christmas Chart (it was actually lower in the mid week interim charts) and will presumably fade away next week.
Meanwhile the Irish Mirror spoke to Jean MacColl this week, and their piece is here. They also spoke to Shane MacGowan.
Your 15 minutes
Unfortunately the film footage which was shot at October’s Kirstyfest, which was expected to be part of a documentary on Saturday 20th December, has not made the broadcast cut. If you were there and were looking forward to watching yourself in the choir, the producers pass on their thanks and best wishes for the new year, and are sorry that there wasn’t enough room to use the coverage. Thanks to Barry for the update. As he says, “Looks like our ’15 Minutes’ doesn’t start just yet!”
1988 at the Town and Country Club
Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues performing Fairytale of New York, all still shiny and new, at the Town and Country Club in London at the St Patrick’s night concert in London. Guinness all round!
