There's a guest appearance from a Horslips member!

Paddy Goodwin and the Holy Ghosts have released 'When The Snow Has Melted', a reflection on Christmas and a Winter of Discontent which nods to the likes of Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.

A celebrated Dublin musician who's worked down through the years with the likes of Horslips, The Radiators and The Trouble Pilgrims, Goodwin plays "all manner of guitars, bass and mandocello" with Horslips man Jim Lockhart on keyboards and Damien Brennan on drums.

Engineered by Jason Varley at The Shop Recording Studio in Carlingford, County Louth, it's accompanied by an Enda White-directed video and is available on all the usual streaming outlets.

There's always been a political edge to Paddy's work with Trump firmly in his sights of late.
