Daniel Woolhouse - who recently shed his Deptford Goth moniker - has covered Christmas classic "Fairytale Of New York".
Many artists tend to veer away from the Pogues' staple - it's a toughie, especially with its duetting vocals and controversial lyrics - but the "daring non-conformist" fav gets a new lease of life with Woolhouse's breezy edit.
The cover forms part of Woolhouse's 'Countdown to the End of 2016', which features a range of musical gifts for fans - including stripped-back piano sessions and lyric videos. Keep up to date with it on Facebook.
