Joy was 16 when we recorded this in the lounge..Looking back now 8 years, I can see clearly how talented she was and the emotion she carried in her voice. So proud of her

[Sweetmelody]

One big indicator of her enormous talent is that she knows the song inside out and can fully feel the lyrics.

My favourite Pogues song. Lovely version. RIP Shane x

The faint sound of a siren in the background was an eerily nice addition.  Beautiful version of a great song.

[JoyCrookes]

Gooner, to start off with- you're a gooner so I'm delighted. And secondly, what a meaningful, lovely comment. I'm really glad this did you some justice :) it was a really difficult song to cover, just because of the meaning and emotion conveyed in the lyrics and the fact that I've been listening to the pogues since I was a young girl made it all the more to live up to.

This made my da' smile too.

For Joy Crookes - This is my favourite song ever. I'm a 29 year old Londoner born to Irish parents. I was tryin to find to a version of this to play to my Brasilian girlfriend. I stumbled across this... and, Jesus wept. This is extraordinary. Honest to God.

In this day and age when kids/folk are recreating our modern crap pop culture, this fuckin blew my mind. Well done to ye. You've got a great tone and delivery.

And I'm assuming that yer auld fella (dad) is a Paddy, so I doft my cap to him.
