Tin whistle sheet music music notes are included, which are suitable for other musical instruments such as accordion, banjo, and keyboard. The video is one of the first demo takes where Cath O'Riordian who was the bass player does the duet with Shane. Recorded by The Pogues And Kirsty McColl, Kirsty was the daughter of Ewan McColl who was married to Peggy Seeger. I say this is the best Christmas song of all time and I also say Shane is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. This version is much slower and most of the song is with just the accordion playing lead notes.
This slower take is ideal for anybody trying to learn the lead notes on banjo, accordion or tin whistle. . Shane says that when they were being produced by Elvis Costello that Costello made a bet with him that he couldn't write a Christmas duet to sing with the Pogues bass player Cath o'Riordan who later became the wife of Elvis costello. And the next version below is the one that I play meself. Cath recorded a guide version of Fairytale on vocals and later left the group with her part being given to Kirsty McColl.
