This 2003 #MarkRadcliffe BBC radio documentary about #ThePogues has been topped and tailed following #ShaneMacGowan’s death, and is a good listen.
Mark interviews Shane after midnight in a Dublin hotel bar, where Shane is smart and witty despite drinking pints of vodka and Baileys, but Mark himself sounds very, very drunk and slurred.
Mark: Was the idea to combine punk and Irish music?
Shane: No no no no no no no no…
Mark: I’ll take that as a “no”, then.
