I don't know how I came to discover it but I was messing about on YouTube and came across something I found very surprising but quite brilliant.

There is a performance of 'The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' played by an Irish fiddle band on there and I have always thought that the surprise element in that was extraordinary but yesterday, I found 'Fairytale of New York' by the Wurzels which I couldn't quite believe but I think is magical.

Sorry I can't post the link because I don't actually know how to.

Think it probably as good as The Stranglers version.
