On 30 November 2023, Ireland lost one of its most singular voices. Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan was more than a songwriter and poet; he was a cultural force whose journey stretched from the first wave of punk through to the global success of The Pogues, leaving behind one of the most enduring songs in popular music, Fairytale of New York.
Long before tribute concerts became commonplace, Shane himself had already given his blessing to one.
In 2018, Irish band Cronin approached MacGowan with the idea of performing a series of concerts celebrating his extraordinary catalogue across Europe and the UK. His response came with one condition: he wanted to choose the setlist himself.
The result was a journey through every chapter of his remarkable career, reaching beyond The Pogues to include songs from his first band, The Nips, alongside selections from his solo recordings with The Popes. To complete the line-up, brothers Johnny and Mick Cronin, together with Fiachra Milner and Brian Murphy, invited acclaimed accordion virtuoso Andy Nolan, a former member of The Popes and one of MacGowan’s closest musical collaborators.
