Shane MacGowan records with The Priests
Their Christmas single is out next month.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 08 Nov 2010
In one of the year’s unlikelier musical hook ups, Shane MacGowan has recorded a Christmas single with The Priests, which features ‘Little Drummer Boy’ and ‘Peace On Earth’.
Due as a download on December 10, it’s the lead track from the trio’s Noel album, which is out four days earlier.
Shane keeps more familiar company in December when he reconvenes with The Pogues for a 10-date run round Ireland and the UK.
