Shane McGowan created a masterpiece with this song. But your version gives me more goosebumps. This version is one of my favorites and in my opinion it best describes what this song is about. So beautiful.
Just when I’d given up hope of anyone ever bein able to do a cover version of this song , I finally found you guys , this is 100% FANTASTIC ,,,, love love love this ....
A very fine version of this great song. The banjo brings some fond memories for me. Me grandad played the banjo and he use to get together with some mates of his every so often and they'd play some fine irish tunes at his place. Me grandad was quite good, as were the other men. Grandad passed quite a few years ago now and I still miss him. I'm 64 now and my only regret is that I didn't follow in his footsteps and learn to play an instrument.
WOW! How come I have not heard of this band. Both singers sound brilliant and the band are great musicians. Never thought I would hear a better version than the Pogues buy but this is it!
Well we’ve made it so far still with so many problems in the world but just love love this song 🎵 listen over and over with tears in my eyes wanting times will be happier so hears to 2022we can all hope.GodBless for a peaceful New year.love Ireland so much.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
This is the one song I would have said would be impossible for anyone else to do justice to - having listened to this, I've changed my opinion. Class version.
Great version of this song. I have always thought it is such a sad song about lost hopes and dreams and recriminations that tear down love that once was bound up in those dreams. You have managed to convey that with your version. Love it.
Almost started crying. Been trying to find a decent version in Swedish all night and when it failed I tried to find a proper cover in English. 30 some minutes and about to give up and I find this! Sure, Shane and Kirsty aren't a fair comparison, but damn.. it did strike a nerve. Kudos to the band!
Really like this new irsh band I've found will listen to some of stuff there irsh so they should be good love irsh music love Ireland 🌈 💚 🐸 love to everyone one at this time it's Christmas Diane xxxx 😃💚❤️💞🍀🐸

They were warm up to Smokie around 18 months ago at the Waterfront and brought the house down, these guys aren't good they're feckin amazing, been to see them twice since and on the look out for another session.
Just love this love what you have done with this version . Love the band as well love Ireland just what we need after the year we've had .Hope for better times all the best to everyone peace to all .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🍻🎄🎄💯💯💟💟🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🌎🌎🌎
She loves the words and he can sing.....but this is Shane’s love song to the Irish took 2 years to write it is a fecking masterpiece note his nuance in his voice of the rare old Mountain Dew and having the Nypd choir singing a song from the past that paddies far from home sang.Shane bridges the Irish and the plastic paddy .Shane is far from the best Irish ballad singer .This is 1 of 2 that only he can sing imo
There is no such thing as a NYPD choir. The video featured the NYPD pipe band who did not know any Irish songs, but they all knew and sang a Disney Mickey Mouse song, popular at the time! You can easily check this out online.
The voices from Dublin ,the original song was sung by the Irish migrants who migrated to America in search of potatoes in New York in 1900 ,they were hungry and found themselves in the streets.what a beautiful song👌

Literally the best cover I have heard. Thank you for not changing the lyrics like so many do. Shane and Kristy should be proud of you
Genuine rivals to the Pogue's version. Clean and tight, brilliant backing and a pleasure to have discovered them . Merry Christmas to you all.
I love this song . It means we've made it through another year.
I think Shane would approve. Rest in Peace, Shane, old boy.
What a special voice she got...
What a Voice what a Band❤
I never thought there would be a worthy cover this is great

This is very good. Have you tried Christy Moore’s solo version? Brilliant.
Christy Moore
As the other 2 comments have suggested, get Christy moores version listened to it’s something else
That could be the most powerful song I've ever heard. It really hits home for me.
great version two great voices that go well and wow what a smile that girl has shed melt an iceberg
I thought the pogues were masters of this song but you guys have killed it brilliant version tight and together outstanding girl can sing impressed
As beautiful as the classic of "the Pogues" with Kirsty MacColl !
A very fine version of this great song. The banjo brings some fond memories for me.

What a voice these two have, fantastic. X
Truly my favorite version of what has become my favorite Christmas song!
Beautiful. What can I say, don't let anyone buy your voices. Hope to hear you in Ireland. I build my dreams around you, maybe we will meet.

Outstanding cover. Best I’ve ever heard this song done since the original recording.
The ladys voice is fantastic real old Irish 😀
Great version of this song. I have always thought it is such a sad song about lost hopes and dreams and recriminations that tear down love that once was bound up in those dreams. You have managed to convey that with your version. Love it.
super geile Version ! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. Bleibt Gesund !
Great version of a classic song.
Wow...great music and great looking guys in the band!

You don't like Jill Johnson's _En julsaga?_
She makes Kirsty proud I’ll bet!
Ohhh my goodness, this is really really good.
A magnificent, clean pitched cover. Perfect.

Great cover, true to the classic, but you made it your own, great singing and musicianship ✌️🎄
this is a beautiful rendition
Such a great cover. Love this one. RIP Shane.
Wow. I love Shane's version, but this is a beautiful clean cover.
Shane's voice sounded rough & gritty, his is actually smooth & wavering.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Yes. He sings it like I'd imagine a younger sober Shane possibly could have. LOL
@@seethe42 Shane always had that rough gritty tone in his voice, even back when he wasn't a drunkard.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 He was always drunk, but in the early days he still sang proper words, haha.
listening in 2020What a year love this song love the band beautiful music .MerryChristmas may we have a brighter New Year .Love to Ireland and everyone .Wish we could be in Ireland 🇮🇪.Something to look forward to In the new year .We love Ireland 🇮🇪.✌️🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️🌈🌈🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Perfection ❤️❤️
I'm not a fan of women folk singers (sorry) but this version has blown me away, love the whistlin donkeys anyway but WOW just beautiful well done xx
Amazingly great rendition. Thank you!
They were warm up to Smokie around 18 months ago at the Waterfront and brought the house down, these guys aren't good they're feckin amazing, been to see them twice since and on the look out for another session.
Superb version! Voices just have that special hint of roughness that has to go with this song. Kudos to you, guys!!
Amazing!! Adds a whole new poignancy.

Jerome Lyons the one on the Violin is my form and drama plus music teacher ahah
Great song, great performance.
