Shane Mac Gowan RIP
Jump to: Newest in thread
He was approaching 66 years old, given the level of addiction he suffered from, he actually had a long enough life, but very restricted for the last ten years or so. Sad for all those that loved him. |

Some of his lyrics were amazing. He will leave a great catalogue but a big fucking hole. I love listening to The Pogues and tearing into the drink, think I'll have to rip into it this weekend, raise a glass or two.

"So Fairytale of New York will sound different this year with his passing
I actually prefer Rainy night in Soho to be honest
He was a perfect Gentleman any time I met him
RIP "
A Fiesta will be happening in the afterlife when Shane lands in, singsongs and pints. He brought the fire back to Irish folk music. RIP ya legend |

The Pogues at Ulster Hall on NYE , I think 86?, was one of the worst gigs that I have ever attended. To say he was out of tune with the audience is an understatement. But given that he was pissed and there was no bar in the venue that is probably very understandable. Never met him personally, but other acquaintances we shared always had a good word. |

So this is the day Shane is laid to rest. Funeral started in Dublin from 10.30am this morning and then on to Nenagh, Co Tipperary in the afternoon at 3.30pm.
Everyone in Nenagh, Co Tipperary and indeed everyone else in Ireland will be singing the Pogues songs today in his honour..... Fairytale of New York, Dirty old town etc!! There'll be no more songs like them again!! |

A rainy night in Soho is the song of choice at the moment on the radio stations and another song called Haunted as its sinead O Connor's birthday today
Think Fairytale will take over again from next week |
