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 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)

Shane is a legend,something about him is special...and this song is so much better because of his character now....only a guy like him could write this masterpiece.

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.

Excellent, but surely not 1987! Kirsty was still alive then for a start... Great vid though, Shanes Mammy is a lege!

Sorry to correct ya, but this December 2000 I believe - cause I remember giving shane that green tie at the preceeding gig in the olympia - when the popes were a great band to see !

Okay boys and girls, you can all stop bickering about the date, it was Friday 22nd December 2000, less than a week after Kirsty McColl's tragic death, and I remember this appearance on The Late Late SHow, becuase earlier that same evening I saw Mr.MacGowan in an off licence in the Dublin SOuth City area

First band was The Nipple Erectors (became The Nips later because some people took offence of the name). Second one was Pogue Mahone wich was later changed to The Pogues for the same reason as with The Nips. His third band was The Popes

Fair play to you missis. In Ireland if you're asked to sing,you have to, no matter what you sound like. Mind you,it helps if everyone in the company has been drinking

It was indeed a pitty, but there still is their 'Pogue Mahone' label. And yes it's Gaelic. Actually the very first name of 'The Pogues' was 'The New Republicans', they played one show and then changed to 'Pogue Mahone'

@trevhill9069 6 жыл бұрын

wabblum99 Nope. Written by Shane and Jem of the Pogues. Christy recorded it on his Smoke and Strong Whiskey album, along with Shane's song Aisling.

Are you sure your an Irishman? You don't write like one. Being American is nothing to be ashamed of (I have been there and had a great time) but pretending to be something your not is for losers. I knew McGowan when he was a middle class boy from Tunbridge Wells. The rest is an pretty much an act. The tragic thing is that he is truly talented.
