I've always enjoyed listening to The Pogues.
I got 'spotted' by Shane McGovern one night in a pub in Camden Town. For some inexplicable reason he insisted on sitting next to me at our table.
Pretty scary and unpleasant experience at first, but OK once all his friends saw I was just there to see him sing.
The Pogues & Kirsty McColl Fairytale Of New York - the height of fame
Dirty Old Town - Poor Shane
Very Drunk Interview - very sad to this really
