Christy Moore with a song for all the Irish emigrants who will not make it home for Christmas.
Gay Byrne introduces the performance from Christy Moore saying,
A lot of homes throughout this country tonight are a bit sad because they won't see their offspring for Christmas because they're in far distant lands.
The song 'Missing You' was written by Jimmy MacCarthy and made popular by Christy Moore.
All ye young people now take my advice
Before crossing the ocean you'd better think twice
'Cause you can't live on love and on love alone
The proof is round London in the nobody zone
In this version 'Missing You', Christy Moore adapts a verse from 'Fairytale of New York' by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan.
This episode of The Late Late Show was broadcast on 22 December 1989. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
