Musicians including Cave and Imelda May performed several of MacGowan’s songs during the service, including a rousing rendition of “Fairytale of New York” led by Glen Hansard and Lisa O’Neill that had the congregation dancing in the aisles.

Fairytale of New York will forever be one of my favourite Christmas songs.
I'll be lifting a jug to MacGowan on Dec 25.

Had no idea he passed. The Pogues were my dad's favorite bands. I practically grew up on them and Flogging Molly

Honestly, I'm amazed he made it to 65.
