Avalon_Fields Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Watched some of Shane’s funeral, including this great rendition of Fairytale of New York by Glen Hansard, Lisa O’Neill, the Pogues etc. If you like Irish music go see Lisa when you can, she is amazing live.

She was due to play the festival either this year or last but pulled out quite late on, as I recall. I looked her up as somebody I wasn't aware of, and this one just blew me away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich1268 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Every time I see in memorandum bumped up I say to myself "oh god, who now?" Mum loved Steve Wright in the afternoon! Sometimes think it would be nice to have an Oscar type in memorandum video in between a pyramid act so we could cheer them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
