In celebration of the Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York' EP, we take a detailed look at how their classic Christmas single came together. The Pogues originally formed in London in 1982 by Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy and Jem Finer. MacGowan had gotten his start playing in the punk band, the Nipple Erectors, and when that band broke up, he began playing in an Irish traditional music style. Gradually, he brought in James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan and John Hasler to become a sextet. Andrew Ranken replaced John Hasler as they signed with Stiff Records. Their debut album, Red Roses for Me, was released in 1984. For their second album, they added Philip Chevron on guitar and hired Elvis Costello as their producer. Rum Sodomy & the Lash was released in 1985, and they continued working with Costello for the Poguetry in Motion EP, released in 1986. At this point, Cait O'Riordan left the band and they updated the lineup to include Darryl Hunt and Terry Woods. They signed to Island Records and hired Steve Lillywhite to produce their third album. If I Should Fall from Grace with God was eventually released in 1988 and included the Christmas single, “Fairytale of New York.”  In this episode, Steve Lillywhite describes working with the Pogues at this pivotal time in their career when they were expanding the lineup and becoming more ambitious with their song structures and arrangements. Despite not having experience recording a traditional folk band, Lillywhite proved to be the right producer for the Pogues at this moment. His input and confidence in the studio led to them splicing two sections of “Fairytale of New York” together and also enlisting his wife Kirsty MacColl to sing the female part in the song. Jem Finer talks about his initial writing process for the song and how he wrote two potential Christmas ideas that his wife Marcia dismissed as being far too sentimental. Her input led to him rethinking the song and writing about a down on their luck couple, inspired by people who lived in their neighborhood in London. Finer describes how Shane MacGowan then took the song and moved the setting to New York City and added some key lines that were taken from real conversations. James Fearnley describes the thrill of recording the opening section with just piano and voice and how he practiced repeatedly to be able to get that part right. He talks about how the song deserved an ambitious string arrangement and so he worked out some ideas on a synthesizer before bringing in Fiachra Trench to help with the orchestration. By taking inspiration from film scores like Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in America and Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront, Fearnley talks about wanting to bring a cinematic sound to match the classic American story that was being told. From the song's long gestation period of a few years, to Steve Lillywhite bringing the tapes home and casually asking Kirsty MacColl to sing on it, to the inspiration behind the classic “I could've been someone”  line, to the initial disappointment of getting to number 2 in the charts, to the perfect sparring duet partners in Shane and Kirsty, to the anti-Christmas Christmas song that has become timeless, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

Spider co-founded the Pogues, along with Shane MacGowan, Jem Finer, and James Fearnely and he has appeared on all of their recordings. The band's original intent was for MacGowan and him to share vocal duties, but She decided to leave them to Shane after the first performance, opting to learn the tin whistle. He still frequently contributed backing vocals and occasional lead vocals throughout his long tenure with the band. After Shane MacGowan was fired from the Pogues in 1991, Joe Strummer filled in for him for a short period, after which Stacy assumed the role of lead vocalist. The Pogues recorded two albums with him on lead vocals: Waiting for Herb and Pogue Mahone. He resumed his original role in the band when they held reunion shows in 2001 and from 2024 and will do the same for their upcoming tour.

Oubliez les morceaux qui durent 3 minutes 30 ou même les albums interminables : voici Longplayer, un titre qui défie totalement notre perception du temps. Il a débuté le 1er janvier 2000… et sa dernière note ne résonnera qu'en 2999. Oui, vous avez bien entendu : ce morceau dure 1000 ans. C'est l'œuvre musicale la plus longue jamais conçue. Imaginé par l'artiste britannique Jem Finer, Longplayer n'est pas qu'un simple morceau expérimental, c'est une composition générative, pensée pour ne jamais se répéter pendant un millénaire. Elle est jouée en continu, en temps réel, grâce à un algorithme basé sur des cloches tibétaines. On peut l'écouter depuis certains lieux physiques comme le Trinity Buoy Wharf à Londres, ou en streaming, pour les plus curieux… et les plus patients. Alors c'est quoi ce morceau ? Combien de temps dure-t-il ? Et où peut-on l'écouter ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture". Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Thomas Deseur.

W jarasaseasongach czas na piosenkę świąteczną. Poszwędamy się po Nowym Jorku. I to w doborowym towarzystwie. Bajkę z nowego Jorku opowie nam ikona współczesnego folku, ba nawet punk folku, Shane MacGowan z zespołem The Pogues. Opowiem Wam dzisiaj o najpopularniejszej w XXI wieku na wyspach brytyjskich - można by rzec pastorałce, zresztą - sami to ocenicie. „Fairytale of New York”, bo o niej mowa do 2020 roku sprzedała się na wyspach w dwóch milionach czterystu tysiącach egzemplarzy i uzyskała poczwórną platynę. Przez wielu jest uważana za najlepszą piosenkę bożonarodzeniową wszech czasów. I Ja się do tych wielu zaliczam, mógłbym stać na ich czele. Na temat powstania Fairytale of New York krąży parę legend, my skupmy się na wersji Shane'a. Jak twierdzi lider The Pogues w 1985 roku Elvis Costello, ówczesny producent Poguesów, postawił zakład, że zespół nie jest w stanie napisać bożonarodzeniowego hitu. Wydawło mu się że nic nie ryzykuje, pewnie wyobraził sobie Poguesów śpiewających „White Christmas” i już liczył pieniądze. Przeliczy się. Jem Finer, banjoista zespołu szybko wymyślił melodię i zarys historii o marynarzu z Nowego Jorku, który spoglądając na ocean w dalekiej Irlandii tęskni do domu.  Brzmi dobrze? Może i tak ale sztampowo. Na szczęście Jem pochwalił się żonie, a jej historia się nie spodobała. Zaproponowała jako temat rozmowę pewnej pary w dniu Bożego Narodzenia. Finer, tak o tym opowiada: „Napisałem dwie piosenki z melodiami, jedna miała dobrą melodię i gówniany tekst, druga miała pomysł na „Fairytale”, ale melodia była marna, dałem je Shane'owi, a on nadał piosence Broadwayowski szyk i tak już zostało”. „Fairytale of New York” powstał zatem jako rozmowa pary zmęczonych życiem, sfrustrowanych kochanków z sentymentem i jednocześnie rozgoryczeniem spoglądających na swoją przeszłość. Opowieść zaczyna się od irlandzkiego imigranta który w Boże Narodzenie trafił na izbę wytrzeźwień. Gdy słyszy starego włóczęgę śpiewającego irlandzką balladę „The Rare Old Mountain Dew” (piosenka o pędzeniu w górach irlandzkiego bimbru - poitin), zaczyna śnić o kobiecie swojego życia i zaczyna z nią słodko-gorzki dialog. MacGowan tak to opisuje: „sama piosenka jest w końcu dość przygnębiająca, opowiada o tych starych irlandzko-amerykańskich gwiazdach Broadwayu, które siedzą w Boże Narodzenie i rozmawiają o tym, czy wszystko idzie dobrze.” Otrzymaliśmy wspaniały pijacki hymn do niespełnionych marzeń, zaprawiony przenikliwie chłodnymi wzajemnymi pretensjami. Nie brzmi jak pastorałka? Może i nie ale jakież to piękne i prawdziwe. Mimo świątecznej  tematyki, utwór został nagrany w upalne lato 1987 roku w RAK Studios w Londynie. W międzyczasie producentem Poguesów został Steve'a Lillywhite'a. Ten poprosił swoją żonę, Kirsty MacColl, o nagranie testowego wokalu, aby zespół mógł usłyszeć jak brzmi w duecie. Poguesi byli zachwceni  jej wykonaniem, uznali że Kirsty musi wziąć udział w nagraniu. I wzięła. I wersja z Kirsty jest najwspalnialsza. I tak The Pogues dało nam pastorałkę nie pastorałkę, najpiękniejszą świąteczną piosenkę wszech czasów, w której komercyjny, marketingowy lukier nie przykrył mieszanki bólu i radości, miłości i żalów, które towarzyszą nam przez cały rok. Nic tylko słuchać. Sail Ho. Audycja zawiera utwór: "Fairytale of New York" w wykonaniu zespołu The Pogues i Kirsty McCall, słowa: Jem Finer,  muzyka: Shane MacGowan @jarasaseasongi znajdziesz na facebooku i YouTube :-)

Thirty years ago, I popped in If I Should Fall From Grace with God by the London-Irish punk band the Pogues, and my life changed forever. I was 17, socially awkward, and a bit of a loner, but discovering the Pogues opened a whole world for me. Finding their brand of traditional Irish music blended with punk rock was like discovering a new home—comfortable yet dangerous, familiar yet mysterious. So it is such a tremendous honor to welcome Pogues founding member and accordion player James Fearnley to For Songs. James, hailing from outside Manchester, England, joined the band at the beginning, enlisted because if he could play the piano, surely he could play the accordion. I spoke with James via Zoom from his L.A. home. We tackle a few obligatory Pogues questions but spend most of our time discussing James' latest venture, The Walker Roaders (https://walkerroaders.com/). The Walker Roaders, which released their first record in August 2019, are a Celtic punk supergroup, featuring not only James from the Pogues, but Ted Hutt from Flogging Molly and Marc Orrell from the Dropkick Murphys. We talk about the band's songwriting prowess, lessons James has picked up from being around amazing artists like Shane MacGowan, Jem Finer, Joe Strummer, among others. Yeah, you're gonna wanna listen to this one. So sit back, grab a pint (or two) and welcome James Fearnley to For Songs.

1987 is a pretty bleak Christmas. The year is marked by disasters. The British economy is wrecked. It is a time when everyone could use some yuletide joy. Challenged by their producer, Elvis Costello, to write a Christmas hit, the Irish-Anglo punk band The Pogues believe they are the ones to provide some egg-nog infused nourishment to the people. Fairytale of New York is what founding member, Jem Finer, and lead singer, Shane MacGowan come up with which will eventually be considered a holiday hallmark - but despite its title, it is no traditional winter warmer. The song descends from nostalgia and euphoria to vitriol and melancholy in the space of four and a half minutes. Fairytale of New York will eventually be certified 4x Platinum in the UK. Christmas fans will go on proudly singing those stinging lyrics. And yet, years later a dark cloud settles over the song's legacy...

Dass die fränkische Glosse auch freundlich, nett und positiv geht habe ich schon bewiesen. Auch wenn in "Gerds garstiges Geblubber" das schöne Wort garstig enthalten ist, war es eh schon immer eher "wertneutral". Heute ist es weihnachtlich ;-). Also nicht weinerlich! Danke euch ALLEN und ein frohes Fest! ! Das Copyright des kleinen Audioschnipsels liegt natürlich bei Shane MacGowan und Jem Finer. ! Ich hoffe mal, dass mein kleines Musikzitat nicht zu eng gesehen wird ;-) Außerdem gibt es in diesem Jahr erfreulicherweise keinen kompletten Lockdown an Heilig Abend und deswegen ein paar neue Bilder in der Galerie...    

On today's episode I take a look at the origins of a personal favourite and most certainly a British favourite Christmas Song - Fairytalk of New York by The Pogues featuring Kirsty McCall.   Written by Shane McGowan and Jem Finer; Fairytale of New York is about Irish people who immigrated to America in the 19th century to escape the potato famine and in hope of making it as entertainers in New York. Many didn't, however, and ended up homeless. It is also said to come from a desire to move away from tacky Christmas songs and to highlight the fact that a lot of people have a terrible time at Christmas. The main character is played by Shane McGowan reuniting with his troubled love Kirsty McCall.   Hope you enjoy the episode; leave feedback, comment and share alike.

The Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse (Wikimedia Commons photo by Grim23) James Dougass(U.S. Lighthouse Society) In an area of London known as the Docklands, where the River Lea meets the River Thames, is a part of the waterfront known as the Trinity Buoy Wharf. And on the wharf is London’s only lighthouse. The lighthouse at the Trinity Buoy Wharf was never used for navigation. The wharf itself was also used by Trinity House, the English lighthouse authority, for the manufacture of chains, buoys, and light buoys. The first lighthouse on the wharf, designed by Trinity House engineer James Walker and built in 1852, was demolished in the late 1920s. The lighthouse that still stands—also known as the Bow Creek Lighthouse, Blackwall’s Experimental Lighthouse, or simply the Experimental Lighthouse—was completed in 1866. It was designed by engineer James Douglass. Both of the lighthouses were used by Trinity House, the English lighthouse authority, for the training of prospective lighthouse keepers. The scientist Michael Faraday also carried out experiments there. Jem Finer The Trinity Buoy Wharf was closed in 1988. The site has been developed as a center for the arts and cultural activities. A lightship at the wharf was converted into a recording studio, and there are art and dance studios at the site. Musician and composer Jem Finer has repurposed the lighthouse in a unique way. Since 2001, the lighthouse has been looked after by the Longplayer Trust. Jem Finer’s ambient sound piece called Longplayer started playing in the lighthouse at the stroke of midnight just as the year 2000 began. It’s been playing ever since, and the intention is that won’t repeat until midnight on December 31, 2999. Longplayer is composed for singing bowls, a type of ancient bell. Longplayer is based at the lighthouse, but it can also be heard at several listening posts worldwide and is also streaming online here. The ancient bowls used in Longplayer (photo by James Whitaker) Longplayer was developed and composed by Jem Finer with the support and collaboration of Artangel, an organization that has been commissioning and producing ambitious projects by contemporary artists for the last two decades. Since studying computer science in the 1970s, Jem Finer has worked in a variety of fields, including photography, film, music, and art installation. He was also a founding member of the Pogues, the popular English Celtic punk band. This interview with Jem Finer was conducted on May 22, 2020, by Light Hearted host Jeremy D'Entremont.

3 Brief Encounters and The Benefits of DaydreamingNo, not that kind of ‘Brief’ encounter (although they are common too), Kitty is here to talk about fleeting meetings with the real Faeries: The Good People, The Wee Folk or the Sidhe.​Faerie of traditional Irish Faerie Folklore are old and clever, but can be terribly nosey. They are all around us and watching, always watching.But what are they thinking? Are they baffled by Brexit, or just set on spying? Should we fear them? ​In this episode, Kitty looks at 3 brief encounters with the Good People and asks:What do they really look like?Would you recognise one if they were sat next to you on the train?Or busking for coin on Main Street?​We ponder why daydreaming is good for us and as always, Kitty explains why it’s okay to believe in Faeries.​To read more stories of encounters with the Good People, share your own story of an encounter, perhaps one handed down through your family, or just an unusual experience on a visit to Ireland at:​www.encounterswiththegoodpeople.comglassonionstories@gmail.com​www.facebook.com/encounterswiththegoodpeopleCredits:‘Fairytale of New York’ written by Jem Finer and Shane McGowan.

So - how slow are we talking about, when it comes to art? French anarchist vegetarian artists Elizabeth Saint-Jalmes & Cyril Leclerc rescue snails bound for the cooking pot, and display them as a sound and light installation - Slow Pixel - before setting them free. To watch illuminated snails crawl across a concert hall for 6 hours is one way of bringing your heart beat right down! Twenty-two ash trees, shaped and sculpted as they grow quietly for 40 years, in a secret location; an extinct volcano filled with subterranean light passages; music to play for a 1000 years; a mile of writing, and a 5 hour composition for a string quartet called 'Slow', played as slowly and quietly as possible... As the 21st century continues at break-neck speed Lindsey Chapman brings you a moment of calm, as she meets some extraordinary musicians and artists, to find out the motivation behind creating slow art. Lindsey - a performer herself, as well as presenter for BBC TV's 'Springwatch' - explores what added value the length of time of creation gives to an artistic idea. Does it make time shrink? Or does it distract us from our awareness of our own finite existence? The biggest art project in progress in the world today is the Roden Crater. You may not have heard of it yet, but Leonardo DiCaprio has been booked to open it, although no one yet knows when that will be. It's the work of artist James Turrell who dreamed, in the 1960's, of sculpting an extinct volcano as a celestial viewing post. and he's spent 40 years working on it so far - Tim Marlow, artistic director of the Royal Academy, has been watching its progress. Also in progress for 40 years, the Ash Dome - created by world acclaimed wood sculptor David Nash. he gives Lindsey is given the coordinates to find the secret circle, and she comes across it on a bluebell strewn forest floor at dawn, a magical moment of pure beauty - but one which leads her to consider where she might be in 40, or 400 years from now. Slow art has that effect - seeing into the future, and sometime fearfully into infinity. Jem Finer, musician and ex-Pogue bassist, has created a piece of music called 'Longplayer', which has already been playing for 18 years and which has another 982 to go - and of course he knows he won't be there to hear it end. Tanya Shadrick knelt beside an open air swimming pool, day after day, month after month, writing a diary, line by line, a mile long. What inspired her to create "Wild Patience?" and what did she learn? Composer Morton Feldman is well known for his long slow quiet pieces of music - but what is it like to actually hold and play the violin on stage for five hours? Darragh Morgan recounts the intensity, and how he never gets bored, and in fact falls in love with the beauty of the music - lie being wrapped in a beautiful shawl of sound. Slow art in under half an hour - sit back and relish the moment. Producer: Sara Jane Hall.
