As a result of receiving great accolades from many attendances at the annual 'Kirstyfest' (Soho, London) from Kirsty MacColl's fans as well having great passion for Kirsty's inspirational music Karen J White set herself the project of creating a tribute to Kirsty's life, music and legacy to inspire others regarding a major influence in Karen's own music. This two year plus project culminated in two studio albums, a pocket guide to Kirsty and a live show. Both the albums and show tell stories of love and betrayal, happiness and sadness, innocence and raunchiness through some of the best British music published during the 80s and 90s. Certainly Kirsty had a phenomenal following in the UK and worked both in her own right and with many of the top names of that era. In Australia perhaps the song she is best known for is her duet with Shane MacGowan of 'The Pogues' and their song 'Fairytale of New York' which around the globe still finds itself in the top of music charts at Christmas!
