About this concert
For the Love of Shane MacGowan vividly evoked the great man’s soul and his voice, clearly showing the love those behind the tribute had for him. John McLaughlin (hit songwriter, producer en zanger van Johnny Mac & The Faithful) brengt de nummers van zijn goede vriend en genie Shane MacGowan van The Pogues en The Popes tot leven met zijn 7-koppige band. Tijdens dit concert brengt Johnny naast klassiekers van MacGowan ook mooie herinneringen van hun tijd samen toen ze nummers schreven en opnamen en uiteraard ook verhalen uit de pub! Deze hommage is een viering van het leven en werk van een van de grootste artiesten aller tijden en wordt onderschreven door Shane’s vrouw, Victoria Mary Clarke. So, let’s all raise a glass to Shane MacGowan! Fiesta!

Shane MacGowan and The Popes Biography
Shane MacGowan and The Popes is a band led by Shane MacGowan, formerly of The Pogues, who play a blend of rock, and Irish folk.
The band's line up has changed through the years; current members include ), Andy Ireland (drums), Paul "Mad Dog" McGuinness (guitar, vocals), and Bob "Lucky" Dowling (bass). Past members have included Mick O'Connell (accordion), Kieran "Mo" O' Hagan (Acoustic guitar, vocals), John Myers (fiddle, tin whistle), Danny Heatley (aka Danny Pope) (drums), Seamus "Rapey" Murphy (accordion), Berni "The Undertaker" France (bass), Ulick McGhee (oboe), Colm O'Maonlai (whistle), Kieran Kiely (accordion, whistle) and Leeson O'Keeffe (Electric guitar, banjo, vocals). Longtime band member Tom "McAnimal" McManamon (banjo) died on 15 December 2006.Scottish violinist laura Mcghee played with the popes at the Barrowlands and went down a storm when she played fairytale in new york with shane who said of the dundee lass i would love to see her get more air time on scottish radio as she is big in America
Following his departure from The Pogues in 1991, MacGowan returned shortly after with this new band, whose debut album "The Snake" was critically acclaimed and showed that MacGowan's creative juices were very much still flowing. A second album, "The Crock Of Gold", was released in 1997 and was, for the most part, more traditionally oriented. Two albums surfaced in 2002 - the compilation "The Rare Oul' Stuff" and the superlative live set "Across The Broad Atlantic". There was also an outstanding live DVD ("Live At Montreux") released in 2004, which shows the band performing at their creative peak (and includes a number of Pogues songs - a feature of Popes concerts throughout MacGowan's tenure as frontman).
The reunion of The Pogues (complete with MacGowan) in 2004 led to MacGowan leaving the Popes behind to concentrate on playing live with his original bandmates. The Popes continue to perform without MacGowan, albeit sporadically.
