The Info Requested On Shane


Hello, Shane is doing very well considering people have said he has been knocking on deaths door for the past 20 years.Shane after he left the Pogues went on to join a band called the Popes,Shane once said they were the best band he has ever played with, which he brought out a few wonderful albums with.A highly reccommended one is called Rare Oul Stuff which has got a great tracklist on.Tracks such as "Christmas Lullaby" and "Victoria" are absolutley beautiful.The Snake album is another great album well worth purchasing.Although now sadly Shane MacGowan and The Popes have parted company and Shane is on the lookout for a new band.Which i have heard could be Paddy Rasta who produce a mixture of Celtic and Jamaican music.Yet nothing has been confirmed.It sounds strange but give it a chance..Shane will be reforming with the Pogues to do a great tour.They will be playing on the following dates;

12th December- Cardiff Indoor Arena
13th December- Glasgow Academy
14th December- Glasgow Academy
16th December- Newcastle Arena
17th December- Manchester MEN Arena
18th December- Birmingham NIA
20th December- London Brixton Acadamy
21th December- London Brixton Acadamy
23th December- Dublin the Point

It will be a great tour.Shane will end up in Dublin and will spend christmas in Ireland with his family.I hope some of this is usefull.
