For The Love of Shane MacGowan
This homage from John McLaughlin is a celebration of the life and works of one of the greatest artists of all time. So, let’s all raise a glass to Shane MacGowan at The Voodoo Rooms this August!
About For The Love of Shane MacGowan
John McLaughlin (hit singer/songwriter/producer of Johnny Mac & The Faithful) performs songs of his friend and genius Shane MacGowan (The Pogues and The Popes). Johnny and his band blast through the classic songs of the great man whilst McLaughlin shares fond memories of their times writing and recording together and of course going to the pub! This homage is a celebration of the life and works of one of the greatest artists of all time and is endorsed by Shane’s wife, Victoria Clarke. So, let’s all raise a glass to Shane MacGowan!
