A collaborative song with The Priests and none other than Shane MacGowan formerly of the Pogues. Hear the priests and Shane discuss this reprise of the Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth below. Did you know that a similar collaboration was first done by Bing Crosby and David Bowie?
It seems a mutual respect and love of music and faith was at the core of this most recent collaboration.
Here is the video on Youtube

Slide at the Annenberg Center - Irish Trad and Contemporary
Slide appeared December 11th at the Annenberg Center of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. This was part of Slide's Christmas Tour and also part of The Annenberg's very popular Irish Music Series. This very talented group hails from Ireland and has performed in venues across the world.
The show was excellent and energizing! Their website describes them as a band of Contemporary and Traditional Irish Music. Surely they shine on both.
Christmas Songs included Fairy Tale of New York and other Christmas favorites woven in to the traditional reels. One highlight was when all sang Silent Night which the audience was taught to sing along in Gaelic.
A wonderful show it was and I would be sure to see them again if they are in town.
