The Story of Fairytale of New York (TV Movie 2005). 56m

“The Pogues are very close to my heart, so it was vitally important that the documentary captured the very essence, style and atmosphere that u0026quot;Fairytale Of New Yorku0026quot; evokes. It is rare that Shane MacGowan gives interviews compus mentis, but for this documentary I believe heu0026#39;s almost of sound mind! Itu0026#39;s great to see the original members such as Philip Chevron, Spider etc take an active u0026amp; enthusiastic approach to this doc and the involvement of Kirty McCollu0026#39;s mother was both productive and touching. This is a truly honest, stylish and professional documentary worthy of itu0026#39;s place in the BBC archives, and deserving of repeat airplay just like the sublime recording u0026quot;Fairytale Of New Yorku0026quot; – voted by the British Public as the greatest ever Christmas song (yet, ironically not directly related to the Festive period, more the Irish descendency upon New York!). Fantastic Documentary, Fantastic Song u0026amp; A Fantastic Band!”
