I didn't know if I loved or hated "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn" The line "… When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne".....I live in Cologne.and the most I had was knob rot. (I think).
Glad to see lots of native Irish people lining the streets to celebrate the life of Shane McGowan in light of recent events. RIP Shane. You leave behind an impressive legacy. I hope Fairytale of New York makes it to number one this Christmas in your honour ❤
I'm an Aussie and I loved the Pogues. My mum and brother. The songs told a story . Not like today. R.I.P Shane. He came across as straight up and loyal.
Shane was brought up in England at a time when No Blacks No Dogs No Irish was at its height,Shane and the Pogues helped a lot of Irish people hang onto something when times were rough.God rest you Shane your work is done ❤
I’m from near Birmingham and a Catholic. There’s always been a big population of Irish in the West Midlands and they were largely welcomed. The Irish formed a big part of our congregation and our schools. I had many friends of Irish decent at school and my own maternal grandfather’s grandparents came over from Ireland.
@@irishheritage893your very wrong in that! But it was 60’s before his time, but it lived on. As Irish coming to UK early 80’s as a professional I still got that stigma, and 2010 met some lovely irish people on streets of central London that came out of a Christy Moore song….as you 7:46 say you lived for a short Time! Outside London ! I’ve lived decades and seen it!in my early working life I met people who came from West Indies who remember the clubs were they and the Irish got together as immigrants! Don’t know where you think your history knowledge is coming from but you are WAY OFF! Are you a plastic Paddy you have no idea about what this music means to people, their history and what it touches in there soul. I’ve cried so many times listening to this music, it’s the heart beat of a nation! On this night you have so upset me by your ignorance. How dare you have a name like Irish heritage you hav t a clue, nor lived any of it!
Shane Macgowan was definitely light worker in disguise. Iv been to his funeral he was God in action very spiritual man filled with love & light. He spread love ❤️. Listen to his funeral. He was so spiritual loved everyone said this is how we should be grateful love everyone biggest message to world He did not judge anyone, especially the homeless..legend. ❤❤. Not all musicians are satanic!!. Get this right few light workers great highly evolved souls in the music mix ❤. Shane will be watching over Eire proud Irish man 🇮🇪
@wgtkdrtgwsm2332 trying to translate guessing language. I hear you re children !!. Bono was removed dark night of the soul, he is definitely was involved with Satanic say no more. A Blessing Bono was not at funeral 🙏 😊 ☺️
You pathetic religious fools trying to adopt people into your cultish version of Christianity that Shane was not interested in. He was brought up catholic and stayed that way throughout his life. He didn't believe bond was a satanist either damn fools.
Christmas starts for me as soon as I hear Fairytale of New York on the radio. What a legacy Shane leaves behind him. A man of many facets. A diamond 'in the rough'.
RIP 🙏 Shane McGowan 😢. Respective prayers 🙏 go out to his wife and all his family. And to Johnny Depp 🙏 and others who showed up. Shane will be greatly missed 😢.
In all honesty, I'm glad people know Fairytale of New York but, my goodness his writing is so very much more than that one song. Here in Canada when the first Pogues releases came out I heard them at nearly every door and in every pub all that first year and beyond that. He was a huge talent and song writing kudos from the likes of Tom Waits is no small change friends. Not at all. Good bye Shane and thank you for all the joy you gave us.
I see what you did there regarding Tom Waits 😅 I tip my hat to you sir. And yes, you are absolutely spot on. MacGowan's music went far beyond Fairtytale. Thankfully its there for people to now go and discover. I get the impression Shane will be bigger as a dead man, as people feel inspired to actually look beyond an annual Christmas hit.
@@VelcroKittie I hope they do look further because his writing and delivery were extraordinary. I love that you caught the TW reference. Shane really deserves the accolades and those delving further into his work will be very richly rewarded.
He touched many, many people's lives in a positive way. It is such a shame that he was crippled by his addiction. We should all be so generous in spirit🌵💗🌼
No thank you. I don’t want an avid supporter of terrorism and hate at number 1, especially at Christmas. He was an IRA sympathiser and often posed with the scum.
Yes there's loads of musicians who have made a career mainly in Ireland singing Irish music same with Damian Dempsey he tours in Britain but isn't well known unless your a fan of Irish music some don't like it cause they make it political jm English but like all music including Irish even some rebel songs I like cause I don't let religion or politics spoil a good song music to me is more important than religion and politics. My Grandmother Kathleen Kelly was Irish but grew up here in Liverpool which is mainly Irish but she christened my Dad Catholic but his sister protestant which I am but don't care either way. Dirty old town is considered Irish but its about Salford written by Ewan Mccoll Kirstys dad who also wrote first time ever I seen your face 2 absolute all time classic songs.
Nothing like the old Bait and switch. Instead of seeing Johnny Depp give a reading I had to endure one unbearable prejudiced TV presenter act like an expert on MacGowan and Ireland while the other did his best to soften the bullshit.
I needed a pack of imodium after that rubbish, ff5 it's a mans funeral and talking no one important well fk u there was a packed church of his friends what could be more fitting RIP Shane Nick did you proud with Rainy Night in Soho what a performance special... special
Great to see the dot to dot celebration of Irish Culture as the procession moves through Dublin’s fair city … (even if Shane was born in Kent, England).
@knoxyish, I hope that Bono was let nowhere near the funeral. That "poet" of doggerel would really ( on a wet day) throw an even bigger black cloud over the funeral. Self promoting bollocks.
We play the Pogues every Christmas at my huge family Christmas here in Canada, even my 80 something parents we all love to sing along. Love the pogues ❤ RIP Shane
These horses are beautiful! What a great send-off Shane had. Christmas isn't Christmas without Fairytale of New York. I bet he met Kirsty MacColl up there and they're singing it together now.
safly, ive never heard it played on US radio. in fact i only heard it from much music in canada and only the punk rock kids knew this song here. it didn't take off in the US until RUclips came along, because i remember how excited i was to finally see the video again after so many years
Rest in Peace Shane. What a legacy. Too many gen x kids leaving man. So sad it is, all this checking out. Sinead O'Connor, Mark Lannigan, Chris Cornell, Delores O'Riordan. That's just off the top of my head. There's plenty more.
That has to be the thinnerst arguement for a rebel connection that I've ever heard! You use Pearse St to get from Ringsend to the city centre. Everywhere else the funeral went had a literary theme.
@@cjm3109yes because that's were his heart was like Rod Stewart is as cockney as can be but his heart is Scottish cause he chooses to be. My Dad's name was William Wallace and his Mum Kelly was Irish but he was scouse and wasx100% English cause he wanted that way same as me but I lived in the States for 13 yrs and I love America like I do England cause my heart is in both places one cause of family and birth the other cause I have more in common with America due to my passions in life.
You're the first person I've seen here who's mentioned Kirsty MacColl. Poor soul, lost her life saving her son in Mexico. Her voice made up half of that song.
It's mad Shane had an English accent but sang in a very thick Dublin accent, but his Father is from Dublin so maybe his Old man sang to him. RIP Punk, Poet and Rebel☘️
He spent most of his life in England so that's his accent but he lived for Irish music which is sang with Irish accent and wouldn't sound authentic without it. I'm English from Liverpool but I sing with a total America accent cause I love American music and all my hero's are American. When the Beatles sang Elvis or Chuck Berry they don't have Liverpool accent or get back or back in the USSR, but they did in yellow submarine. If I sang Johnny Cash with Liverpool accent would sound stupid the only time I sound Liverpool when I sing is if I sing Irish songs cause our accent is similar. Graham Nash is from Manchester but you can't tell in CSNY songs.
It's never difficult to be irish 🇮🇪 Listen to the presenter gosh a read of everything that happened to irish over 800 years done to them by the English would give great enlightenment to this presenter .
It was Four O' Clock in the Morning on a Rainy Night in Soho. He Was a Man You Don't Meet Everyday and He Had a Pair of Brown Eyes . He lived in Dirty Old Town by The Old Main Drag. His London Girl was The Sun and Moon to him and he always told her I Will Love You 'till The End. He was a Navigator and it was the Hour When The Ship Comes In. Being The Gentleman Soldier he had her Sit Down By The Fire and drink The Parting Glass before he sang her Lullaby Of London. As he Waltzed His Matilda down the gangway, The Irish Rover turned and said If I Should Fall From Grace With God have me cremated and scatter my ashes on The Rocky Road To Dublin . That's how I would like to see it. My condolences to his bride and family. He was a great artist and I am saddened by his passing. Love ya Shane, thanks for the fun.
Ken Murray was talking bollocks - it was never difficult to be Irish in the north of England - London may have been anti Irish but still they thrived until this day - the Tavern, in Cricklewood Road has a newsagent next door which has every Irish local newspaper the same day it comes out and, if you're what people call black, you're at least half Irish. Through a friend of mine, PJ Finn, I met Adrian Ennis who had The Red House pub on Whitechapel Road just down from the Blind Beggar - a great character. Ken Murray belongs aside Prince Harry - a whingeing snowflake, not capable of surviving the 1950s - WE didn't WHINGE, we got on with life. Mike Livesey, Brinscall, Lancashire
I agree with you up to a point without remembering Birmingham and anywhere there was bombing. Glasgow still has its issues from the turn of the last Century, totally ingrained in Culture and Community.
Which this presenter did not bring up the troubles. There was no need he just put a damper on it. I was living in London in the 80s. And even though IRA bombs were going off in London at that time I was treated very well by the English people that I encountered. Which surprised me. We all need to move on now and leave the past behind. Britain are our closest neighbours.
@@Harveybeau Are you responding to me with this statement? I think you might have been therefore, I must state that there was no malice in my original response, it was and remains factual. Incidentally, the Pogues were very popular with one part of the divide and are still despised by the other in my city. Walk a mile and check it out for yourself!
@@josephmaxwell5033 No Josephmaxwell I was not responding to you. I was talking about Ken Murray the TV presenter. Sorry if it came across as directed to you. Have a good evening.😊
So what about Aiden Gillan the Irish Prime minister and Nick Cave and Johnny Depp all of whom were there. Shane was much loved, your reporter needs to not be so judgmental. "Thin on the ground" disgraceful, it's not about that. He was a wonderful poet, lyracist, musician and a genuinly kind man.
Will be missed, I always like that song with a pair of brown eyes was looking at me when I’ve had a few and I’m not even Irish as far as I know as you can never be sure when your English lol and the Xmas song is part of Xmas now, RIP 🙏
you re right Ken, dont think that the oscar-winning Glen Hansard would be too well known among the staff at Talk TV, not only for his music but for his work to help the homeless and most needy in society.(BTW, Shane´s mother came from Tipp. His father is a Dubliner)
Interestingly the song never reached no. 1 despite being the most popular Christmas song in Britain and Ireland. So would be fitting if it managed it now.
Difficult to be Irish in London! My grandfather moved from Ireland to England after ww2 he had £5 in his pocket! He made a fortune died a rich man ! Impossible today! And it’s no fun being white English in London now
What is this all about Johnny Depp? This all should be about Shane and no one else.. PLEASE stop sharing the "fake" news . Let Shane rest in peace please. Think off the family. Let them mourne in peace...
Ur a pure gentleman Johnny, iv supported u all the way, that amber thing, i love women but she got karma, im vinny from 🇮🇪, anytime u r back in my country, go 2 stoneybatter and ask for vinny o and mary o, ur a great man, god bless u and rip Shane
Please tell me Geldoff and Bono were heard arguing with some fisticuffs over who was going to give the better eulogy. Shane would have loved it. Spilt wine and defrocked priests.
We used to say that it's not Christmassy until you hear Fairy Tale of New York. RIP Shane. Legend.
Yes! Let's make Fairytale of New York #1 for Christmas.
And for #2 GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH.
@@fastinbulvis2223 I'm pretty sure it'll make it on it's own now.
I used to say that about Last Christmas, but I think Fairy Tale is on the same boat.

He moonlighting. He never uses his falsetto in the day job.
Funny, Glen Hansard seems to be more known here in the Czech Republic than he is in Britain.
What is this all about Johnny Depp?
This all should be about Shane and no one else..
PLEASE stop sharing the "fake" news .
Let Shane rest in peace please.
Think off the family. Let them mourne in peace...

Typical of the brits looking for celeb names but fair play to Ken murray for giving a little bit of Irish history.

Please tell me Geldoff and Bono were heard arguing with some fisticuffs over who was going to give the better eulogy.

Spilt wine and defrocked priests.
