This Must Be The Place. ‘Party on!’ says Kirsty.

Squire back in the day, with Anthony and Kirsty on vocals throughout.

For good measure here they are with their other ‘Kirsty track’ in 2019.

Linda & Mike Fletcher’s cover version of ‘There’s a guy works down the chip shop’, recorded for the 2020 Facebook Music Lockdown Challenge. The song was written by Kirsty MacColl and Phil Rambow.

Linda was the co-host of the ITV pop music TV programme ‘Get it Together’ between 1977-1980. Linda & Mike Fletcher worked together live in various line-ups around the world between 1973-2018.

It’s getting hard to find anyone NOT covering Fairytale of New York, so delighted to find this from 2 weeks ago 🙂

Listen to Men Of North Country taking on “They Don’t Know”.

Their label—Well Suspect Records—says “Kirsty was and always will be the queen of songwriters, ruling many a genre. No one sang like her, no one was sassier and no one softer; and sadly no one had a more tragic ending. Twenty years after her untimely death, MONC had to cover one of her tunes; her crown jewel, one of those ‘best songs ever’. A tune that refines that feeling of ‘us against the world’, and of course, somehow manages to transcend it. The perfect pop song and a taster of things to come – a new MONC album due for release in 2021 on Well Suspect Records.”

We’ve been a bit busy but with the covers week it’s better late than never!

Jonathan and Catherine Bent play Fairytale of New York.  Dedicated to essential workers in New York and elsewhere, who risk their lives to protect others.

This year’s Christmas Day moment of calm features the wondrous Aimee Mann singing Leonard Cohen.   Peace!

Hi everyone. This video was made during the Covid 19 lockdown at the Stillenacht Kapelle in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, where the song Silent Night was written and composed. I decided to sing the ultimate Irish Christmas song. What else could I do? Thanks again for watching .  Posted by Declan Rynne in April.

The Pogues and Kirsty performed ‘Fairytale Of New York’ at The Camden Electric Ballroom on 10th December 1990.  Dodgy old footage yet somehow fitting!
