The EPIC untold story behind Fairytale of New York

We created this music video of the boys of the NYPD choir singing Galway Bay to add to the legacy of Shane MacGowan. We’re donating €1 for every view of this video to Dublin Simon Community, a cause close to Shane’s heart.

Watch it, share it, help us spread the joy this Christmas.

I have a chance to visit the EPIC museum in Dublin last summer, amazing place and well worth the visit, they even showed a bit of the Saint Patrick’s day parades where I live in New Orleans.

My great grandfather was born in Patterson NJ, his family moved over from Ireland. GG came back to Ireland, then to here in Glasgow, Scotland. Wonderful vocals. Merry Christmas to all and wishing those less fortunate blessings and hope things will change (they do, I know).

Surprising there's never been a NYPD choir.

[jeepstergal]

Lovely.

But I seem to recall that there were a couple more verses when my sainted mother sang it to me...

[oldbean]

Lovely (apart from the dodgy pronunciation of "gosson")

Just a small question, it says written in Leicester by an Irish immigrant...
What, the Leicester in England famous for making all the potato crisps?!?
Or is that just a coincidence?
