A TREAT for you

Ooops, that last post was in danger of getting a little bit heavy, so..... in order to restore some seasonal good cheer, I give you this (what a treasure-house YouTube is!!) - the original video of 'A Rainy Night In Soho' by Shane MacGowan & The Pogues. Enjoy.

There are several interesting live versions of this on the YouTube link.... and a cover by Nick Cave. Worth a look.

My favorite Pogues song is always "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda."

An Eric Bogle song. I saw him play in the Anzac Club in Toronto when I was working there..... a lifetime and a half ago.

Damn,you have to work your way through the YouTube playlist on this. There are many different versions, and all interesting in their own way.

I just looked at (I think) a late '80s one from an American TV show, and it had me crying my eyes out. This is such a fiercely beautiful song, and carries so many memories for me....
