"Down In The Ground" for People in Need

**Sun Nov 11, 2007 11:26 pm**

Apparently Shane has re-written "Down In The Ground where The Dead Men Go" as a Christmas tune to be performed by a bunch of RTE reality show celebs. The story was in a well known Sunday rag, but the fact that one of the celebs was Victoria may add an element of truth...

Am I the only one who wonders what the hell this would sound like :?:

I'm afraid it's going to involve a putrifying elf sitting in a chair. :shock:

Don't believe everything you read.

You have to admire Victoria's tenacity and determination to become a minor celebrity, lesser mortals would have thrown in the towel by now.

yes John thank you for pointing out the glaringly obvious, I often wonder how I'd get by in daily life without the cliched advice of idiots ringing in my ears...

The Irish Indo today. Ian O'Doherty (author of S.Mac, Last Of The Celtic Soul Rebels) reports that Victoria is organising a Christmas version of DITG with her Celeb mates from Telethon. Supposidly Shane is producing it! Any truth in this?

He very wittily says that as Michelle De Brun is involved it should be "Streams Of Whiskey" :lol:

Looks like Shane may be the producer on "Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go "cd for charity.

There were pics in the Sunday Indo of shane (looking in rude health) producing the track with the 'celebs', "Connemara Let's Go" due for release early December!!!!

Shane did production and some vocals.
Another detail to whet your appetite - Cait plays bass on the record.
Colm (of Kila) plays whistle. Trumpet and fiddle were added..

P.S. Victoria shares her impressions with Indo readers here:

I read a small article about Shane and some Irish model. However the article also referred to Shane making a special Christmas recording of “Down In The Ground”.
My first thought was didn’t The Pogues record this before?

Anyone else heard of this?
