This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, Gary and Guy quiz each other on great songs that were denied a No.1 and we welcome back our dear friend, the legendary record producer Steve Lillywhite to the show.
Steve has worked with some of the biggest and best artists on the planet - and produced the nation’s favourite Christmas song ‘Fairytale of New York’.
In this special end of season episode, Steve talks about the song, the recording in summer 1987, the new live version he has mixed recorded at the Glasgow Barrowland in Dec 1987 and its enduring legacy.
The new EP is out now and you can find out more here: http://thepogues.lnk.to/FONYZoetrope

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
