​@@sickpup820kirsty was not part of the band. The band , The Pogues , is an Irish band. Original name for the band was ,Póg mo Thóin, which is Irish for , Kiss my ass. The members of the band decided to abbreviate the name to The Pogues .The band was set up by some Irish men born in Ireland and some Irish men like Shane McGowan born in england. Those who were born in england, like Shane McGowan still considered thenselves Irish.

[@sickpup820]

The Pogues were an English or Anglo-Irish Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in King's Cross, London, in 1982. Dirty Old Town which was written about Salford, not Ireland. (Ewan MacColl wrote it, he was Kirsty's father) I know Kirsty wasn't part of the band, but as Shane said, this song is nothing without Kirsty. @@michaelfoley9904

@@michaelfoley9904 Spider Stacey(Who came up with the original name of the band), Jem Finer, Darryl Hunt & James Fearnley are all former members born in England - none of them are of Irish stock, so you are wrong.Yes, Irish music was a big influence on the band - but Ireland doesn't "own" Celtic culture - and further influence came from the Celtic culture of Britain. Anyway, a great band, who's music will live on.❤ RIP Shane.

“Fairytale of New York” is a drunken hymn for people with broken dreams and abandoned hopes. It is, therefore, a perfect contrast to some of the perkier perennial favourites we wheel out each Christmas. The song begins with its narrator, an Irish immigrant, being thrown into a drunk tank to sleep off his Christmas Eve binge. It’s not Christmas till they’ve sang this song Absolutely a great song I’ve loved it from the first time
