…well, you know.
There is no quicker way to our hearts during the holiday season than by covering “Fairytale of New York,” the staggeringly awesome duet between the Pogues and the late, great Kirsty MacColl. So congratulations, Amy MacDonald: we liked your debut album well enough, but this live version of “Fairytale,” recorded at the Barrowlands in Glasgow, permanently puts you in our cool book. Her bassist and duet partner does a mean Shane MacGowan impression to boot.
