On this episode of Guess That Record, Jackson speaks with Jem Finer! A founding member of The Pogues, Jem played banjo on all of the group’s records. He also helped write many of their most well known songs including “Sunny Side of the Street,””Misty Morning, Albert Bridge,” and the all-time Christmas classic “Fairytale of New York.” In the episode, Jackson and Jem discuss how Shane MacGowan turned him on to Irish music, behind the scenes stories from The Pogues discography, and how Jem created a piece of music that lasts for 1000 years.

Guess That Record
