Ok, you lost me on that one. How is Kirsty of any relation to The Pogues except that she sang in "Fairy Tale of New York"? I mean, that's like saying Jackson Browne sang with the Chieftains, but when people go to hear traditional music, they don't want to hear the CHieftains, they want to hear Jackson Browne. I think Jackson Browne was much better than the Chieftains...Ya know, it just doesn't make any sense. They are 2 different genres, Kirsty was doing her British Isles folk stuff...mostly Scottish & English...The Pogues were doing Irish Punk. Don't try and put one person of one genre over another person of another genre. The audience may not know the difference, but it's no excuse for those of us who DO know the diff.
