Shane MacGowan sings 'Fairytale of New York' with his mother Theresa, with backing from The Popes. From The Late Late Show (1987) on RTE 1, Ireland. Sorry about the crap quality, but I nabbed this from http://www.netsoc.ucd.ie/~justy/ years ago. Sound quality is alright though (I hope). Could anyone else get away with callin their lovely Irish mammy "an old slut on junk"? I think not...
Mastud gets a cookie! (for telling me the year)

A last hurrah try. best I ever heard of him was in my first CD exposure, called SNAKE. A lot of rowdy Irish songs, and then no more till now. Good to have found him again! Bless his Mum.Related Videos
