Fairytale of New York a classical guitar tribute to Shane MacGowan

We’ve all got a Shane story I think… I was very lucky to tour with him for a few months on and off as part of my good friend and mentor Sharon Shannon’s Ruby band while filling in for Jim Murray the guitarist while he was down under in NZ.
I’ll never forget chats with Shane and talking about Kent where we are both from originally but with Irish parents (myself my mum is from Dublin) and growing up with Irish ☘️ family and culture of course.
He was a true genius and also the man whom he co wrote Fairytale with Jem Finer, whom composed the melody is too a genius and great musician and of course they both created so much together and individually.
Shane’s lyrics and Jem’s melody provide a masterful combo and in many ways you could read the words and play the melody and it’s still a masterpiece and put them together and…
Here’s something a little different an instrumental of the song melody which I would like to offer in Shane’s memory.
