Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill Perform "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's Funeral

That is the most beautiful send off I have ever seen. Shane definitely heard that! We will be singing his songs forever.

Shane’s wife jumping over the pews to dance and his sister also. What a sight.

It's so refreshing hearing those honest lyrics inside a church. Glen deserves more credit than he gets, and Lisa is just great. Absolute treasures. Mighty send-off by everyone. Shane would be raising a glass to this tribute.

This is not a funeral or memorial, this is a celebration of life... Beautiful version of this classic... Rip Mr Shane MacGowan

If dis is the funeral, i can’t imagine the wake.

Lovely to see the great John Sheehan on tin whistle! What a performance and let’s be honest, nobody does a send off like the Irish!! Rest easy Shane, thanks for the music and the memories!! 🇮🇪🥃💚

I'm crying tears of happiness to see how much love there is in that room. You lost two great ones this year, my condolances from Finland. We all were very blessed to have both Shane and Sinead. You could say we had sort of a counterpart of finnish rock go away 15 years ago and he had a irish song about some irish musiciands he sang, drank and played for a night or two in which he stated (poeted) that they sang about that the small nations strenght lies in it's arts and hearts. This is very evident looking at this wonderful service tonight. Peace and love from Helsinki. Shane was much loved here too.

Beautiful version, ❤ , I was lucky enough to be in the church for this sad wonderful mass / concert, unforgettable ❤❤❤ Rip Shane ❤ ❤️❤️

Can't beat an Irish Funeral, am so proud of my Irish heritage, ❤.

This is how I want to go. No tears, no fears, just laughter and dancing in the aisles with lots of music. RIP Shane ❤️

These tears on my face have at least five different reasons to be there.

If this dosent happen at my funeral, don't turn up! Simply magnificent

There won't be many funerals like that 👏👏❤

The fact that they broke loose dancing in a funeral shows what kind of sendoff this was. What a sight. Loved it! Songs and memories lives forever

Why am I crying? Being Asian, I have never heard of Shane or the Pogues. but here I am crying all the same.

Beautiful version. Glen and Lisa do a fantastic job with this.

Now that is an awesome send off. Love that people started dancing. Shane would’ve loved it. RIP, Shane, and Kristy. This song has always made me cry, now it does so even more. 💚🙏🏻🍀

THAT! is how you do a funeral!

An American here. Lived in Ireland for a couple years back in the early 2000s. This is the most beautiful encapsulation of the Irish people. What a wonderful country. What wonderful people. RIP Shane McGowan.

He had a King's funeral and we all know he more than earned it, in lack of a better verb. Ireland and her Church setting an example of dedication to a people's Prince of Irish Popular Culture. It's been 39 years since I first listened to the Pogues. Hail and fare safe Shane MacGowan. Celtic Soul Cousins in Pt.
