Ciarán Cooney - Fairytale of New York (cover) 

I'm here again this Christmas 2020 and it is still an incredible video. Best cover there's been of this song

Just found this!!! Absolutely stunning. How is this guy not more well known??? So much talent.

This version is so haunting to me gives me chills he’s voice the sound of the people in the park everything just makes this version perfect

I wasn't sure at first but , yes, good version. You've put your own stamp on it. And proved it doesn't need to be done as a duet.

Großartig! Der junge Mann rührt mich zu Tränen! Wünsche dir eine große Zukunft, Ciarán!! LOVE!! Berlin is waiting..

Time of the year again to listen to this over and over again :))

Wow...I don't know how I only found this cover now...I "collect" covers of this, my favorite song ever....And this really is one of the most amazing covers ever...I hope you are living your dream, sharing your talents with people...thank you for this...I lost my big brother on Christmas even 20 years ago...and this song is one of the most important things to help me get through the day....I search out and play covers of this song....your version is exactly evocative of my emotions during this time...you did it...thank you! I donlt know who you are....but thank you....

Exactly one year later : the best version ever, Ciarán Love this one!

Christmas 2022 and yes still one of the best versions.

Best cover of this song, without a doubt 👌😉🎶💙🎄

Excellent. A cover with something to say.

Merry Christmas everyone I come to listen to this once every year since I been a kid found this guy years ago when this was first put out can’t believe it’s been 10 Christmas of listening to this guy on Christmas and I love every moment of it I hope we can listen to ya for another 10 cheers to ya all and have a good Christmas to whoever reads this

I think you've made yourself a new fan here, Ciaran. This is one of the best covers of the song that I've heard. I'm heading straight over to hear some of your other work now.

this song makes me cry. beautiful performance

An absolute stunning and emotional cover of a great song, it retains the original feel and essense of the song. very well done. a joy to listen to.

Dude.....You need more recognition, this is beautiful

Still my "go to" every Christmas, years after finding it for the first time, perfect arrangement, perfect playing, perfect vocals. Say no more!

Hey man great job man. I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this out to the world

RIP Shane. Long live Ciaran!

I can't believe that I'm finding this years later in 2020, it's by far the best cover of this song that I've heard!

Best version of this song i've seen so far, so close to perfect!

I think I just became obsessed with this....

Your voice is wonderful. thank you. best cover so far.

wow.. the goosebumps. I'm in love now... Fantastic

This is the best cover I know of

I seen this guy over the weekend playing with the young wolfe tones, and I've become obsessed with his style of guitar playing....you freakin awesome dude

Just awesome. Never thought I would hear a version of this Christmas classic that would hold a candle to the original. This did.

Tough song to cover but you did it justice. Cheers from Boston!!!

I've watched this one many times. Still the best. 😊

Ciarán this was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent. A very Merry Christmas to you and Pio! Give our best to Rae and Happy New Year to all of you!

How does this only have 1.5K views? I feel like I have personally watched it more times than that! Thanks, Ciarán! I hope all is well with you.

Such a beautiful cover! :D Well done! :)

phenomenal!

This is actually top notch

Found this through a friend, thank you so much, wonderful!

This is lovely! Just lovely! This is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs, and I really like what he has done with it.

Love it

I know it’s not Christmas, but I forgot to listen to this like I like to do during December . It’s still great 🥰

That was so unbelievably awesome. I am so happy I stumbled across your performance. Stay safe.

censorship is at an all-time high, I can see why you would want to pass. I cried for the change in Irish society where they value, "people's feelings" over their history. Life and grit! I can still feel in my body, through this song.. My great Aunt emigrated in the fammine to America... Thanks for this amazing piece of work!! Rest in peace Shane, may you live on in our hearts, and in our homes as we sing silently

Wonderful stuff. Hope you have a great life in music.

Ciarán, I don't usually comment but your version is absolutely epic! Fair play to you, keep up the good work

Beautiful! Best version I've ever heard!! Good job!

I've watched pretty much every cover of this song here on RU-vid, and this one is easily the best. There are a handful of other covers of this tune, but none comes close to this one. That you also filmed this in the yard at Trinity is pretty spectacular.

I'm pretty hard on covers...but this is fantastic.

OMG. I LOVE THIS . Saw the Pogues playin' this song live - 30 years ago... Thanks for sharing this damn good tune. Greetings from Hamburg, Jimmy :-)

Really great version!

Best cover of this song I've ever heard mate. Top notch. I've been searching RU-vid for a decent cover to try replicate myself. Would love to know what chords you're using. But I'll just enjoy it for now. Ryan, Armagh

I love this so much :)

Love it! Great cover

I love that song

Lovely cover!

Brilliant.

Beautiful and well done!

This Cover deserves 100x the Views bud. All the best to you and yours. Subscribed.

This is wonderful. It made me cry thinking of my Irish family.

Amazing cover! Keep it up!

You are great at Raglan Road. I have gone two nights this week and have loved both. Can't wait to go back again!

Excellent well done loved it -:)

This is fantastic lad! Amazing 👍

This is awesome my friend, good work!

Just found this now and I really like it a lot. I'd love to play this the way you do I'd love a tab or really anything to play it the way that you do. Great job.

Very moving and brings tears just as does the Pogues original ! Will have to find a copy of the new "Red" album

Love this song. Great job.💚☘️🇮🇪

And you are the perfect man to sing this typical irish christmas song... with red hair:) Oh my god I love it sooooo much. Thank you.

My first of many views this season. Such a great song and great cover

You're fantastic, I just came across this and I loved it. Honestly, this is fantastic. You said in your about to make requests known and I was curious if you could cover a version "Jon Mclaughin - Human." I would love to hear it in your accent. Thank you, honestly for making such beautiful music.

I really enjoy your version. Most try to jazz it up or change the tempo and sing it in ways that don't really work so well...imo. You did it as intended and put your own stamp on it too.

Fantastic cover buddy

Great stuff!

I like your singing of this song.

good job!

there is somthing in his way of singing that reminds me of Adam Duritz, Counting Crows. and I really like this version of FoNY. 😊

When your album comes out I'm going to buy it :p - jamie

Great cover. This kid looks like he walked out of a Dickens novel

Class :)
