Nick i'm sooo jealous you saw Joe Strummer! I got brought up on The Clash and still love them. Been teaching my son to skank to them! I did see The Pogues a couple of years ago. He lasted the full set but it was just embarrassing. Not even funny. And surely bad luck to sing christmas songs in August? Would kill to see The Clash tho. Tut to being born too late. X

Has to be Fairytale of New York for me too, and also Chris Rea's 'Driving Home For Christmas'.

I love all the chrstmas carols.
I think my favourite song is The power of love by Holly Johnston (frankie goes to Hollywood)

Aw power of love is 'our song'! When I had my son I had a terrible birthing experience and when they finally let me out on christmas eve that was the first song on in the car. If he'd been a girl i'd have called him frankie. Cried all the way home and still do when I hear it. Someone really was keeping the vampires from my door that night I had him X

Amazing band saw them live, quite polished for a labled Punk band. Victoria Hall, Stoke On Trent 1982'ish i think. They played about 30 song's. London Calling, Safe European Home, Magnificent Seven, This is Radio Clash, Straight To Hell, some of my fav's and more.

Never saw the Clash live, saw Joe Srummer solo, and another time when he came backstage after an ex-boyfriends gig..well, didn't actually see him was too bladdered as was ex- boyfriend. He was devastated tee hee

Ha that's the thing about past concert's trying to remember them.
Fairy Tale of NY has to be a fav crimbo one, but uncoventional which i like the most, would have to be Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis by Tom Waits.
