We have actually done the song on numerous unseasonal occasions, on the grounds that a Furry Tail's Not Just For Christmas, most notably in New York, I suppose, in recent times. It actually depends on Ella Finer's availability as much as anything. She has a fairlly full life outside of her occasional work with the Pogues. We could, I suppose, find a deputy if we wanted to, but frankly, now that we have a female co-singer who is a popular, uncontroversial, indeed organic, choice among the band members themselves, we prefer to avoid offering hostages to fortune if we can. Ella has been a part of all our lives, including Kirsty's, since she was a toddler and I think we know she's also somebody Kirsty herself would almost certainly approve of in the role.
