Fairytale of New York (feat. Kirsty MacColl) [Live at Glasgow Barrowland, 1987]
The Pogues
What song do you turn to when you need to cry?
I'm answering a different question here
This is a live version of the song, from just after it was released.
I only heard it this morning, and it starts with the crowd chanting "Kirsty, Kirsty"
I don't usually get very emotional about the deaths of people I never knew, but there was something really sad about the loss of Kirsty MacColl
