Irish journalist and author Joe Jackson has uploaded a complete interview he conducted with Kirsty in 1993.

“So, by way of celebrating Kirsty MacColl, who died this time twenty years ago as a result of a boating accident, I am uploading for the first time the full conversation we had in 1993 at the time of the release of her latest album Titanic Days.”

Thanks to Ruby for spotting this.

Also, tonight on Irish channel Arena, RTÉ 1 at 7pm:  As Christmas approaches, Seán Rocks and guests celebrate the life and times of Kirsty MacColl on the anniversary of the singer’s passing.

Cork musician and multi-instrumentalist Martin Leahy has released a new song in tribute to Kirsty MacColl on the 20th anniversary of her death.

“I’ve always been a fan of Kirsty MacColl’s music,” Leahy says. “The mysterious injustice of her death has stayed with me over the years and I’ve always had it on my mind to write a song for her.”

“It’s emotive every year around this time to hear her voice on Fairytale of New York coinciding with her anniversary. I wanted to mark the 20th anniversary of her death this year with a song.”

December 17, 1987. A TV performance of ‘Fairytale of New York’, with the Pogues. Gary Davies again, this time with Mike Read. Since the show was recorded a couple of days earlier it allowed her to ‘simultaneously’ be in Scotland for Pogues duty.

December 14, 1990. Kirsty sang ‘Don’t Come the Cowboy with me, Sonny Jim!’ on the show.
