RIP to the troubled genius Shane McGowan. What a song writer.

Christy can cover anything he damn well chooses, the man is a Irish National Treasure, hell he's a World Treasure!

You know it's nearly Christmas when you're YouTubing Christy Moore's fairytale of New York. Happy Christmas!

There is NOTHING I would not love to hear Christy Moore sing. God gave him a gift for sure!

Who`s here on this day 14th November 2022 listening to a Fantastic version of a True classic song ? beautifully played and sung by Christy Moore

I've not an Irish bone in me. But I love Christy Moore. Saw him years ago in the Albert Hall. Hairs on the back of the neck. His Isle of Man song I play every time I go to the Island.

I come to this every Xmas Eve.

The strong Irish accent with this song is quality

Beautiful 💯, oh I miss my own, Family 👪 love ❤️ all. This is the seventh time listening to an, BRILLIANT and Wonderful version God bless Christy Moore ❤😮

I return to this song every December. It’s a personal tradition.

One voice, one guitar. love it.

I listen to this song once a year and its magical

Love this version. What a tough year it’s been and this just makes you feel how lucky you are. RIP everyone that has been a victim to this pandemic. Hopefully 2021 is a better year for all

No one sings this song like Christie ❤

Christy...my God....I have never heard a better version ion my life. What a brilliant tribute!

This was absolutely f**king incredible. It's the first version of this song I've ever heard that doesn't make me miss Kirsty McColl.

A truly beautiful song💖. Christy from the heart.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🇨🇮

He gives it his all always. Super cool man with a voice that's a national treasure. Well done 👏

Is it weird that I’m listening to this in March lol

I saw him in concert up in Nottingham decades ago and he performed this...I never forgot how great that; and he; was❤

In my opinion this is the best version of this song, Christy shows the passion this song deserves!

Watching and listening with tear in my eye. Working away from home until the 22nd Dec. Can't wait to go home to see family

Holy crap. He's a one man show. Lovely take on this song.

RIP Shane McGowan…. A legend.

Christy......simply the best there is that's still doing it. God bless ya Christy.

Rest in peace Shane 🙏🏼💚✝️💚🙏🏼

This song always make me cry. Best performance ever.

Christy Moore, the only musician who never fails to make me shed a tear. Voice of an angel that keeps me company even as an Irish girl over in England.

Go Christy you legend! Shine on! How can three minutes draw tears and make you laugh AND cry at the end. Beautiful how he loves and supports Shane MacGowan.

A genuine national treasure. Love this man. Hairs on back of neck throughout but especially from 3.56 - 4.16 … the icing on the cake

The melancholy, the dashing of hopes, the malignancy of selfishness in addiction, this song is brilliant. So evocative, brimmed with sadness, moves me everytime

Captivating, stirring and unnerving. A masterpiece

How blessed we are to have the technology to share this forever!

One of the best covers I have ever heard!

Fantastic , Best xmas song EVER

Put this version on Spotify ffs

Can’t say how many times I’ve listened too this in a week😱

Whos here after a bad 2020??? Give him a share :) Merry Christmas my Arse x

What a great song! Thank to Christy you for singing Shane's lyrics with with the passion and feeling like no one else could. Ah, but this song breaks my heart after all these years of dreading Christmas. For that matter the whole holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years day is something I survive and (forgive me Lord) sometimes wish I didn't.

Christy Moore is one of a kind -- no one sings with the emotion that he does; I love him.

I must have been asleep at the base of a tree for a couple of decades...I awoke today to find Christy Moore's music. I've always wondered why Irish music and intrumentation gave me gooosebumps. There's something in my DNA I suspect. Christy Moore reminds me of what Studs Terkel would sound like if he had been a musician rather than a writer. My favorite version of an R.E.M song was performed by The Corrs, an Irish Band. Christy Moore can almost explain the meaning of life itself in his lyrics and voice. (Just by accident I live in a little community called "Moore" way down south.)

One of my favorites, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

What an ode to humanity. What a voice. Best Christmas song ever.

Every year I come back here and its still the best version of this song outside of the original. Even more toyching this year!

What a voice and Irish of course

hey l am australia l love this man..how can you not love the emotion in this song, god l love ya christy moore have seen in you in melbourne, my grand father nathaniel magee would have loved hearing u...god bless u all..

With a tear in my eye

That time of year again 🙌

Love this version I'm not Irish but love you people from Ireland ! You say it as it is ! Love the accent aswell

Wow - first time I've heard this version. Unbelievably good.

you know it's nearly Christmas when you"re YouTubing Christy Moore's fairytale of New York. Happy Christmas!

Still my favourite version of this song. Just perfect.

first time ive heard this version WOW🎅

I'd just been listening to some Glen Hansard and this performance popped into my head. It's September and I hate Christmas, that's how good this is.

December 2019 this is still REAL. GOD BLESS YOU. 💚

Thank god I am a kelt and can relate to this pure music How sad for those that dont hear it !!!!!!!

Christy Moore, Arguably the best talent of our generation!

tear to my eye

2021 still here, love this version. Covid won't spoil our Christmas this year.

Best and only cover of a Christmas classic

One of the best covers ever

Gosh I love his voice. Haven't listened to him in years and he's still just as pure and strong. Gorgeous.

Incredible storytelling and incredible music. Christy's version always brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.

His voice runs through my soul and soothes me.....Christmas symbolises an awful lot to many people who are reminded of their losses and of course be grateful for what they have.....it's a hard time for many...bitter sweet time for me...

I love this version. When I heard christy Moore sing this live I thought it couldn't work (being sung by Kirsty and shane). Oh how wrong could I be. And as with every christy Moore song....He keeps you hanging on every word, a great man.

Beautiful....the fact there such good friends makes it even more special. A fantastic song written and performed by fantastic artists. Wishing each and everyone of you all the best this Christmas and may 2023 be kinder to us all x

I love this guy got to be the best in irish music he amazing at what he dose!

The best Christmas song. Ever.

This man has a powerfull voice

this gives me soul goosebumps

To me this is one of the best covers, and the best Tribute to Shane I could think of to play this sad morning. RIP Shane MacGowan

RIP Shane

I was in America last year and this is the most powerful song I've ever heard, being from Ireland is great!

Keep the faith good times will come again up the Celts🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Shameful that Im from Newbridge myself and I've only ever seen Christy live just once! It was one of the best nights I've ever had and it was great to see that kids of all ages were in attendance to see such a great man. I remember getting a photo with him after and realising I was actually standing right beside the man himself and it remains one of my proudest moments in life to date

I had a good friend from Dublin (James Gallagher) gave me a cassette with Christy Moore songs in 1997. This song was on it. I was hooked. I’ve been a huge fan ever since! Greetings from Ocean City, Maryland, USA

Yano it’s that time of the year when your listening to this beauty what a legend Christy Moore ❤️🌲☃️

What a passionate man, he gives it all, and its refreshing.

From one great irish poet to another one. Kthanks lads

That time of year again ... :)

It's all been said ....... best acoustic version version ever!

Christy sir ye never fail to impress!!

Been a lover of this song since the Pogues released it. This is by far the BEST cover, ever. I'm now a fan if Christy Moore!!! Sláinte to all

Brilliant cover.

It’s not even Xmas but I have to listen to this song what a voice

This version is a very close second to The Pogues. I mean that as a compliment, but The Pogues version will always hold a special place in my heart.

Happy Xmas 2018 and a happy new year 2019🍺🍺🍺👍

Absolutely amazing - shivers!

This is phenominal. The way he's changed the lyrics to make it so similar but yet so different is genius, and it works so well like this. And his voice, woah.

Finally December - Merry Christmas 2018 everyone. I wish you all success for the New Year, have a good one💙🎅🏻

Damn it’s only June and I had to hear this already , great voice and accent👍👍

I really love that song.I dreamed along so many lonely christmas eve nights. Thank you Christy.

November music 😂 Happy early Christmas 2019 🥳🥳

I'm playing this myself around local open mics. I clicked this to see what other musicians did with it. I can't play it this well, but it is nonetheless most helpful and of course totally brilliant !

No words to Express that talent. Just wow

I cant stop listening to this song !!!! By fare my favourite version

This was actually the first version of this song that I heard - for a while I honestly thought the Pogues had covered it. Still my favourite...

Absolutely love this song, what a version! 👍❤️

My first visit back to Derry after over 10 years (the first time) and my mother played this song for me. The effect was simply life changing. Every christmas is not the same unless we get this as part of our festivities

Not matter how I'm feeling I love to listen to christy. he's so raw his music hits different, a legend 🙌
