Shane MacGowan and The Pogues with an impromptu pub session. Singing one of Kirsty MacCall's dad's songs. November 1986 #ThePogues #ShaneMacGowan #DirtyOldTown @GazelyGaze
A friend of mine was living in Vienna in the 80s, and one afternoon he’s in his local bar having a quiet half-litre. As he’s sitting there he notices a group of guys at the bar asking the barman for directions. They didn’t speak German and the barman didn’t speak English so the conversation was going was nowhere. My friend knew where they wanted to go, so offered to show them the way. And so began a mad night of drinking with the Pogues.
I met my love by the gas works wall
His smile looks like a vandalised graveyard. But what a legend.
Why did you mention that they were drunk? You already said The Pogues.
He sounds exactly the same singing drunk in the pub as he does in the recording studio ..Pure class

I met Shane in a pub in London back in the 90s he was an absolute Gentleman and more than happy to have a chat over a pint.
With respect, the "drunk in a pub" part of the title wasn't necessary. If young Shane McGowan is in the video, it's basically a given.
If he had a white tooth 🦷,hed have a snooker set 😮
With his lifestyle, how on earth did he live to 65
Being an alcoholic is awesome.
"Spring's a girl..... BLEUGH" lol
The fact that Shane MacGowan is still alive in 2020 blows my mind.
Still listening in 2024 absolute legend
Rest in Peace big man! Love from Northern Ireland!
...Great Singer,Songwriter and Poet...Bye to a Legend😪
Ah the pub, those were the days
Rest in peace shane.your amazing.
Rest in Peace Shane. 😥
Love his voice, he sounded the same on his records as he did singing live. He was authentic and the genuine article. RIP Shane.
Rest in peace Shane, such a good soul🙏🕊🥃
