Nick Cave accuses BBC of ‘mutilating’ Fairytale of New York – The Guardian
The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl song, to be played in a censored version on some BBC radio stations, will be ‘stripped of its value’, says Cave
Nick Cave has accused the BBC of mutilating Fairytale of New York, following the broadcasters recent decision to play a censored version of the Pogues and Kirsty MacColls festive classic on Radio 1.
The BBC recently announced that the 1987 hit would still be played in its original form on Radio 2, while 6 Music DJs would be able to choose either version. The inconsistency of the policy has dredged up what is becoming a well-flogged pantomime horse.
