Just doing some work on my collection in Traktor and the following amused me and made me think a tad.
I've 2884 artists in total, I put a search in to find Kirsty MacColl (now there was a talent, cue thread! :) ) anyway, I typed in - kirsty.
How many Kirstys do you think I got? ONE, yeh, just the one. Now it made me think is she the only Kirsty to EVER record, I can imagine not but wherever the other Kirstys are, I've not got them.
Are there any? Somebody I'm sure will come up with some and make me look a total plank but hey ho. :teeth:

Kirsty Hawkshaw - I have one of her tracks. She sings on a much trance song which has been sampled loads of times in other places - called It's a Fine Day (Opus III and a few others) Really good song actually and a bit of a favourite of mine.
It's a fine day..People open windows!

errrrr......... I thought we are trying to establish if there are any Kirstys, other than Kirsty MacColl, not a discography of hers.
Now pay attention, or you'll all be kept in after class, for trousers down and a good spanking! :teeth:

Well I only have the pogues as part of a megamix so quite hard to use. The Ronan one is a seprate track, and it's not that bad really!

It's pants, it's laughable the way he seems to be trying to "sound Irish" & as for changing the lyrics of a bona fide classic :angry:

But he is Irish???
Its only ever used as Background anyway, and even that was only because of a hotel i worked at last christmas insisting on all christmas music whilst people were eating!

But he is Irish???But he doesn't normally sound it. It's a very forced & phoney sounding vocal, as if he's tried taking a brillo pad to his sugar coated voice.

Isn't Kirsty dead now - an untimely end or something?
We have a Kirsty Holmes who works as out laboratory manager if that's any help - never heard her sing sadly, so maybe she can't?
