This song was actually written by Ewan McColl who was Kirsty McColl father. Kirsty was the female vocalist on Fairytale of New York. Ewan was a very famous English folk singer in the 60’s. He also wrote “The first time ever I saw your face”, well worth checking out.

Absolutely a wonderful tune’
Grew up listening to the Dubliners version but preferred this version, now I think they're both great
The song is written about Salford Manchester, Ewan the writer of the song was brought up in that area .
And the boys of the NYPD are still singing Galway bay and the bells are ringing out for Shane today.
