My particular amateur piano playings of The Pogues' songs

[Carlos Cantabria]

I would like to share with you all my particular piano playing of "Fairytale of New York" and "Thousands are sailing".


In first place, here you have my piano playing of "Thousands are sailing" (dedicated to Philip Chevron).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz2rvErNYWg

I uploaded it about 2 months ago, dedicating it to Phil. It was hard for me to find a moment in which I was able to play it without any mistake. Finally I did, but the problem is a little bit with the measure of the length of the notes... Maybe when I have the time to do it, I will try to upload it again, but with the correct length measure of the notes. Meanwhile, here you have the playing I uploaded then.

In the other hand, here you have my piano playing of "Fairytale of New York". I learnt to play it in the summer of 1993 (it has rained a lot so far), but I have just uploaded it 4 days ago. Here you have it:

Well, I hope you like them.

I also learnt to play (in the year 1993 as well) "The Irish Rover", maybe I will try to upload it during the following weeks (depending on my spare time)

Best regards

Carlos, just to let you know I finally heard your "Thousands Are Sailing" last week - I was directed to another item on YouTube and found you were the next item on the jukebox! Very good, well done.

Good work Carlos, love the sound of the piano.

After having uploaded those two videos, many people complained that I didn't use the pedal, above all referring to my playing of "Fairytale of New York". Well, now I have uploaded two new videos playing the same songs ("Thousands are sailing" and "Fairytale of New York"), but this time pedaled. I am not used to the pedal, so... Anyway, I hope you appreciate my effort.

Happy New Year from Spain.

Carlos,

I like you have done amateur Pogues songs on guitar and piano that I have uploaded to youtube, they are listed at the bottom.

I love your Thousands are sailing, I might have to learn that one myself.

Keep up the good work.

Lee.
