Along with Irish folk band Beoga and singer-songwriter Anne-Marie and, Ed Sheeran recorded a live studio version of the classic Pogues song on BBC's Radio 1's Live Lounge yesterday.

As Ed admitted himself about the song: "It’s a cover that you shouldn’t really touch … I’m going to get murdered for doing this cover."
The song was first recorded by The Pogues and the late Kirsty MacColl back in 1987.
