Sharon on TodayFM 17Dec09

Herself made a guest appearance on the Ray Darcy show yesterday morning to play out the program with a rendition of "The Fairytale of New York" with Joe Echo. This little Irish classic was originally made famous by the Pogues & Kirsty McColl

Thanks to Cecilia from COL for recording & posting. Years of keeping wayward brother & hapless Belfast barrister in line showed with her delivery of certain lines ..eh ;D. Shame Cecilia cut off the short exchanges afterwards where comment was passed regarding Sharon having the "poshest arse"; ostensibly about her delivery of the word but Gavin HAS been alerted to the possibility that the peasants may have been remarking on her gluteus maximus.

In a sequel, Sharon & Joe reprised their performance that night during his show at the Academy. One report we have states that it put the radio performance well into the shade.

A fan DID post a clip of the performance but whilst getting the atmosphere, the sound was not good. Shaz & Gav HAVE been v thoughtful, however, and have posted a backstage clip of Shaz & Joe doing a "runthrough". It's an absolute tribute to her growth as an artist & her confidence that Shaz is such a natural & has no self-consciousness with this famous if rowdy Irish classic.

That was great!! Very nice of Shaz and Gav to upload that one! Funny how the telephone rings on cue at the end.
