For many people, the Lankum gigs in Vicar Street in January would have been the best of the year, with or without a pandemic shutting down every venue in the land.
Now, the band, fresh from their unique A National Disgrace show at the Abbey Theatre, have shared a video of the live performance of ‘The Pride Of Petravore’ from that stage featuring The Pogues’ Spider Stacey playing with them.
The original is on their Choice Prize winning album A Livelong Day.
The video is animated by Marry Waterson on hand-painted 16 mm Cine film, using footage and photos from the Vicar Street gigs.
Listen to a review of the album on the Nialler9 Podcast.
