Thanks for posting this! You were so nice to my son when he met you after the show in Winnipeg, thank you for that as well. He loved your performance and really liked meeting you, AND still agrees with you about something to do with a Clash album…

Happy Christmas to you and your family!

A brilliantly ‘English’-sounding version of an Irish sounding classic, Florence’s voice just does all things well! And you can’t go wrong with a harp. Also love the cover of Last Christmas on BBC. Thank you!

Happy Christmas!

Good to hear a version that doesn’t soften the lyrics! Excellent.

Lovely Billy - it’s just too bad Florence couldn’t muster up enough energy to pay Kirsty even a little homage….The harmony during the chorus isn’t that hard.

Great rendition of one of the most recognised and celebrated Christmas songs.

I hope you take no offence, but mayI take this moment to ask if people will take a look at http://fairytaleofnewyork.wordpress.com/ as I am trying to pay Kirsty and FTONY a great respect next year.

Nothing in it for me - I just feel the time is right, as it will be the anniversary of our 10th year without Kirsty.

Many thanks, and with respect.
