Last Day The Pogues

                                                                              

                               Shane did come back to The Pogues ;) in my opinion The Pogues cannae                  be The Pogues without him. 

                                                                                    
They continued Shaneless for a few years then stopped altogether until the band re-united in 2001. They have not made any new albums, and currently have no plans to do so.

                                                                             
 They regularly tour, always in the States (mostly East coast..which is unfortunate because I'd love to see them) at St Patrick's Day time and all over the UK in December.       

They have had at least 13 members...and currently have 8. They play a variety of traditional instruments, which combined with Shane's voice give The Pogues their unique sound.

Day 3/4~ The Pogues~ Shane MacGowan

                                        Shane Macgowan was born on Christmas Day in 1957. His Irish family, from Tipperary, were visiting relatives in Kent England at the time of his birth. Both parents interested in the arts, his mother a dancer/model, his father a writer...it's no surprise Shane himself became a songwriter and singer of one of the most internationally known Irish bands, The Pogues.                                                                   

                                                                             
                                      When Shane was 6 his family moved to London. They lived both in Brighton and London.When he was 14, he was accepted into Westminster on a Literature scolarship .                                               

                                                                             

                                        He was kicked out a year later for drug possession.

                                                                         

                                     At 19 Shane started his first punk rock band called The Nipple Erectors later known as the Nips.  

                                                                           

Around this same time, Shane also played in a band called Millwall Chainsaw...this band eventually evolved into The Pogues.                             

As The Pogues evolved, Shane changed his style of singing....less punk more classical Irish. He was tutored by members of his family.

In 1991 Shane parted ways with The Pogues, due to his prolific drinking problems.
