Fairytale of New York - The Mahones with Damhnait Doyle, "The Hour" 2007

The Mahones w/Damhnait Doyle perform "Fairytale Of New York", originally recorded by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl. From "The Hour" Christmas Special, 2007. A holiday classic!

Very nice. I must say though that Kirsty's voice will forever have my heart. I haven't heard one like hers yet on this classic.

While the original will never be topped, this is best rendition by another band... nicely done

I had never seen this until now. Fantastic cover, Finny!

[@IanB85]

This is great - had never seen it before!

[@cookingreg]

I saw this when it was broadcasted. There I was having a crappy Christmas at my parents, when, Oh, here's your favorite band playing a great pogues tune. Seriously, Finny, Why didn't you marry that girl?

[@RabbleRouserStomp]

Yup, digging it. Great voice Finny, Happy Christmas!

[@MrManowar3]

Great version.

[@LonesomeTroubadour]

This is a great version. As good as the original.

[@gahgah28]

My favorite version of this song is by No Use for a Name, but this is great as well.

[@fredflinstone7939]

Nicely done. Damhnait still a sexy as ever.... Cheers!

[@bbvveen]

[@tovlstf]

[@zedma64]

Is it Mike O'Grady the one playin the accordion?

[@jameslannon9788]

awesome job!!! few can cover this well and this is just plain awesome!!!

[@22grena]

So the English translation for their band is ''my bum or my ass''. Didn't think that one through.

[@anemuman]

The translation of Pogues is Kiss in Gaelic. The old Pogues band used to be called Pogues Mahones, translating to Kiss my Ass
