Shane’s family, friends, and former bandmates comment on the music, the rumors, and the alcohol.
About Shane MacGowan / The Pogues
Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan was born 25 December 1957 and is an Irish musician. He is best known for his involvement with “The Pogues” as their original vocalist. MacGowan drew on his Irish heritage to create “The Pogues”, a band that he founded and now sings for, but was away from during a long hiatus during the 1990s. He has written songs that many consider of astonishing beauty, though their lyricism is sometimes obscured by the quick, rough performance and folk-punk sound of the band, as well as his slurred voice. Many of his songs are influenced by Irish nationalism, Irish history, the experiences of the Irish in London and in London life in general.
The Pogues are a popular Anglo Irish folk rockband of the 1980s and 1990s. They have a strong following, essentially inventing Celtic Punk and having a large influence on the larger Celtic Fusion scene as well. The Pogues were founded in King’s Cross, a district in north London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone – “pogue mahone” being the Anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning “kiss my arse”. The band specialised in Irish folk music, often playing with the energy of the punk rock scene from which several of the members had their roots.
