	The Pogues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pogues are a popular Anglo Irish folk rock band of the 1980s and 1990s.
		Shane MacGowan (vocals), James Fearnley (accordion) and Spider Stacy (tin whistle) were the original members of the Pogues, in the days when they busked on the streets of London.
		The reunited Pogues played dates in the UK with support from the Dropkick Murphys in late 2005, and re-released their 1987 Christmas classic "Fairytale Of New York" on 19th December, which went straight in at #3 in the UK Singles charts on Christmas Day 2005, showing the song's enduring popularity.

	VH1.com : The Pogues : Biography
		By demonstrating that the spirit of punk could live in traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues were one of the most radical bands of the mid-'80s.
		Shane MacGowan, whose slurred, incomprehensible voice often disguised the sheer poetry of his songs, the Pogues were undeniably political -- not only were many of their songs explicitly in favor of working-class liberalism, but the wild, careening sound of their punk-injected folk was implicitly radical.
		Although the Pogues were peaking in popularity, Shane MacGowan's relentless drug and alcohol abuse was beginning to cripple the band.

	BBC - Radio 2 - Documentaries - Pogue Mahone: The Story of the Pogues
		Predictably though, The Pogues' chainsaw energy divided the folk fraternity: enthusiasts welcoming the shot in the arm they had given the music, while detractors denigrated their musical ability and bemoaned the stereotypical image of falling-down-drunk Paddies.
		Pogue Mahone (Gaelic for 'kiss my arse!') seemed to come from nowhere, although Shane MacGowan had previously seen service in the post-punk outfit the Nipple Erectors.
		Inevitably The Pogues were drawn toward that maverick orphanage, Stiff Records, which in August, 1984 released their debut single, Dark Streets Of London; two months later, came their debut album Red Roses For Me. But it was the band's striking second album, released the following year, that established The Pogues.

		The Pogues were a popular Irish folk rock band of the 1980s and 90s.
		The Pogues were founded in London in 1982 as Pogue Mahone — "pogue mahone" being the Anglicization of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse." The band specialised in Irish folk music often played with the energy of the punk rock scene from which several of the members had their roots.
		Shane MacGowan (vocals), (accordion) and (tin whistle) were the original members of the Pogues, in the days when they busked on the streets of London.

	TrouserPress.com :: Pogues
		Along with Costello and Joe Strummer, the Pogues fell in with director Alex Cox, contributing a pair of tracks to Sid and Nancy, appearing in the motley Straight to Hell and providing the bulk of its soundtrack.
		Meanwhile, the man who was in no shape to make a Pogues record managed to pull his own out of a hat as if by wizardry in 1994.
		The Pogues never invoked the memory of Mott the Hoople (with a nod to the Clash) the way this lot does on "Victoria," but on traditional ballads like "Roddy McCorley," "Nancy Whiskey" and "The Rising of the Moon," the Popes reclaim enough of the older band's sound for the transition to hardly matter.

	CLUAS Indie Gig Reviews: The Pogues live in Dublin (Dec '01)
		All the original Pogues (bar early departee Cait O Riordain) on one stage, performing songs that many people had regretfully consigned to music's 'Never To Be Played Live Again' archive.
		Since the band's slow demise in the late 80s, the Pogues' back catalogue has become, for many Irish listeners at least, a body of work to rival that of the traditional ballad groups - the Clancy Brothers, the Dubliners, the Chieftains, to name but a few.
		Tonight the Pogues got the Dublin reception that was their due over 15 years ago.

	The Pogues
		The Pogues music could be called soul; not in sound, but in feel, in sensibility, in emotional commitment.
		The Pogues were definitely a part of the '80's for me.
		When The Pogues finally toured the States, close to a year after HD's release, MacGowan was again not with them ("Shane MacGowan will not appear" read the newspaper ad for the show).

		Everyone over the age of eighteen should go to a Pogues concert at least once in their lifetime; if only to study the band and witness the audience.
		For those with seats, this was two hours of great Pogues music, but on the floor the atmosphere was always drunkenly dangerous.
		The Pogues are not a gig or a concert so much as a night on the lash with some great music.

	The Pogues @ Manchester
		POGUES frontman Shane MacGowan is the George Best of popular music - an unique talent laid waste by inner demons and 25 years of very hard drinking.
		The Pogues pioneered a fusion of traditional Irish folk and punk rock, so when they ripped into Sally MacLennane the crowd totally lost it, dancing manically along with this raucous tribute to the drinking class.
		The Pogues do great covers and when Ewan MacColl wrote Dirty Old Town as a tribute to Salford he can scarcely have imagined that over 50 years on, a massive crowd would be bellowing his words at a startled Pogues.

	CanEHdian.com: The Pogues
		It is often said that The Pogues set the standard for the Celtic-rock "pub song" that would rise in popularity not only in Ireland and England, but in such faraway haunts as the United States and Australia.
		Much of this popularity is due to the raggle-taggle mix of styles that their music incorporates: rock, traditional, and even punk elements.
		The Pogues were a smash on the folk circuit, and the scene was perhaps changed forever by their presence.

	Pogues with Hamell on Trial concert review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Pogues line up is currently as follows: Spider Stacy on vocals, Jem Finer on guitar, banjo, saxophone, and hurdy Gurdy, Jamie Clarke on guitar, Darryl Hunt on bass, Andrew Ranken on drums and mouth organ, James McNalley on the accordion, and piano, and David Coulter on the fiddle.
		Unfortunately, the latter wasn't played when I saw them, but the former (which was introduced by the didjeridu) was the highlight of the show for me. Their set consisted of songs mostly from the period after MacGowan left.
		A Pogues live show is definitely a great deal of fun, and you end up having a good workout to boot.

	Amazon.co.uk: Rum Sodomy and the Lash [Import]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Subsequent Pogues albums suffered from a polished maturity that didn't sit well with the music, but this is the sound of The Pogues as they should be, rough and ready.
		Yet again the Pogues have excelled themselves, not only in the writing genius of S. McG., but also in the sheer passion put into their songs.
		This album is widely acclaimed as The Pogues' best album (internet vote), and I agree, though liking Shane's music for the extremes of his styles: the extreme trad celtic cum London punk songs, I think that this album could do with a bit more of both.

		These December dates are billed as "the Pogues for one week only", but the band will extend their long-awaited return as surely as Shane will celebrate it in the pub.
		Many doubted whether MacGowan would turn up, never mind be able to sing the songs that had such impact when he first took a punk approach to traditional Irish music in 1983.

		The Pogues and particularly Shane McGownan have often being vilified and ignored by large sections of the media.
		This compilation furthers, however, the argument that the group are deserved of special mention in any reflection of music of the latter stages of the 20th century.
		The Pogues were a phenomenon, an unlikely blend of folk tradition and punk attitude fronted by a jug-eared gap-toothed pisshead and druggie who was also the most literate and talented songwriter of his generation.

	GorillaPirate.com - "Red Roses for Me" by the Pogues
		The Pogues have done a lot of traditional songs and done them very well; for example, the cover of the traditional song "Whiskey in the Jar" with the Dubliners.
		And while the traditional songs on Red Roses are pretty good, they aren't nearly as good as later traditional songs the Pogues would do, or for that matter, as good as the original songs on Red Roses.
		Usually Pogues' instrumentals are good enough to make up for the fact that they're inherently absent of MacGowan's lyrics.

		One spin of the album proves that Costello accomplished his mission; this album captures all the sweat, fire, and angry joy that was lost in the thin, disembodied recording of the band's debut, and the Pogues sound stronger and tighter without losing a bit of their edge in the process.
		Rum Sodomy & the Lash falls just a bit short of being the Pogues best album, but was the first one to prove that they were a great band, and not just a great idea for a band.
