The Pogues – 1985 live footage

Here's Part Two in my St. Patrick's Day commemorative musical themed blogs with some live footage from 1985 from The Pogues. They have been creating their sonic mix; a blend that often includes traditional Irish music, punk and world music, since 1982. Presented below is some live footage from 1985 plus a few early videos.

The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York – the video & live version

When it come to Christmas mixes or playlists, The Fairytale of NY always has a place between such other holiday favorites as Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys or anything off The Carpenters or Elvis' Christmas records. An unconventional holiday song for sure, but that's a good thing when relatively new and worthwhile additions are often difficult to discover.
