Shane magowan rip

[doppellanger]

What was the name of it?

The Birmingham 6. It's on If I Should Fall From Grace With God. think it seguéd into another song.

Really scathing lyrics. I always assumed Shane was hard core republican as he was friends with Gerry Adams and he said on the late late one time that the house he grew up in in Shinrone was a safe house for the IRA, but according to Victoria Mary Clarke on the BOC show, he actually liked the royals.

 

[Great-Bit-O-Stuff]

Only heard this Pogues tune today with The Dubliners. Have no memory of it in 1990.
Brilliant tune with Shane starting it off and Ronnie and Shane combining on the last verse

Majestic

A nice touch

Shinrone? That's Offaly. I thought it was Puckane near Nenagh the family were from?

It was a brilliant show. Some of the best musical in the country there.

That’s class, thanks for sharing. Brilliant. You can’t but admire Charlie Haughey’s panache, though he was a pure scut. Ronnie Drew would have been a great President.

 

[Maw Maw]

You’d wonder what Ronnie and Shaneo’s booze ups were like?

Did they ever find out who actually planted the bombs in Birmingham.
Did the Berminham 6 say anything like we would ring their ears if they met the fellows who did the deed
