[FRATZROCKET]

Heard almost every cover of this great song but The Donkeys just kill it. Thank you.

[standemon]

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

[silviomenzer]

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.

I love this song . It means we've made it through another year.

[dougscrivens]

Genuine rivals to the Pogue's version. Clean and tight, brilliant backing and a pleasure to have discovered them . Merry Christmas to you all.

A superb cover. Somewhere, Shane and Kirsty smile. Raise a glass.

[holmesgosdin]

That could be the most powerful song I've ever heard. It really hits home for me.

[adrianhaynes]

Fantastic version, and as for her voice, it's enough to make a mans heart melt

[gojester]

This is just pure talent! Love to listen with friends and a pint or three!

Another wonderful take on MacGowan's great song. You guys make Christmas a lucky time.

[christophevernizzi]

J'adoooore. Joyeuses Fêtes Christophe

[seanlong]

God just smashingly the very best version yet after Shane and Kristy of course.

[delby]

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.

[bshaddo]

This song is the embodiment of enjoying music.
