- **Event Description**: For the Love of Shane MacGowan!

Scottish singer and hit songwriter John McLaughlin is venturing into a new realm with his latest project, “For the Love of Shane MacGowan.

The show does what it says on the tin and is John’s personal tribute to the legendary Pogues frontman, his late friend Shane MacGowan. McLaughlin with his folk band, who all share his love for the music of the iconic hellraiser, will perform the classic songs penned by Shane, intertwined with John’s tales and funny stories of their times spent together writing and recording as well of course going down the pub!!

McLaughlin and MacGowan have worked together on a few different projects over the years and stayed in touch until Shane’s sad passing.

McLaughlin said “I have been a Pogues fan since way back in the early 80’s and have seen them play many, many times over. I was in awe at their punky celtic sound that breathed new life into the Irish traditional music that I was brought up on, but it was the charisma, the voice, the songs and antics of frontman Shane that got me totally hooked.

So, when the opportunity arose to work with Shane back in 2001 it was like a dream come true for me. We instantly hit it off on a personal and professional level and became friends and started writing some songs together. Shane was super intelligent and so incredibly well read. I learned a lot from him. I am unbelievably proud to have this chance to pay tribute to Shane for the joy, the memories and songs he’s left us. The show will be a celebration of his work and above all else just a right good old-fashioned night of fun and song, and together we can all raise a glass to Shane”
