For a few years in the early 1990s, the Dubliners, led by Nick Kelly, were our finest exponents of the genre and this polished, upbeat highlight from their debut album, Twist, is their crowning achievement. - JM.
Penned by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan, this beloved seasonal ballad is frequently cited as the best Christmas song of all time - and with good reason. The plaintive piano intro, jaunty tin whistle, playful accordion, shimmering strings and lyrics that capture the frailty and wonder of romantic love prove a transcendent combination.
