Loved the article. We (the Pogues) were stood in the Jungle for the St. Patrick’s Day Massacre, with Gerry Conlon and Paddy Armstrong from the Guildford 4. Hilarious, the Celtic fans were roaring with laughter. Played the Barrowlands that night. Absolute blinder.

I think sometimes I forget just what an impact we had. Then I see something like this and it all comes back to me. Matthew, I really hope you’ll be able to come down for the 3rd, it’s going to be glorious
What a fabulous concert this will be. And my daughter is part of it! It’s like a wonderful dream. Like so many, I bought Red Roses For Me when it was released in 1984. A revelatory marriage of punk, folk, history, politics for us all, opening ears, eyes and minds.

I saw one of the shows where Joe was in for Phillip. Great night and lots of fun afterward backstage with Shane running around being goofy. Got to talk to Joe that night and get an autograph. Splendid sharing a beer too.

This is number 34 Burton Street, where Shane and Jem lived from ‘79 until ‘82 (Shane was originally in number 30. That fell down, internally so to speak, so he moved a few doors down the road). I lived in number 5 until that too became uninhabitable.
