Biography

The Pogues are an English Celtic punk / folk band founded in 1982 as Pogue Mahone ("kiss my arse" in Gaelic) in London in the early 1980s.

Founder & front man Shane MacGowan was fired in 1991, going on to form Shane MacGowan And The Popes. The band continued, with some lineup changes (including the temporary addition of Joe Strummer), until 1996. The group reformed in 2001, and played their final show in August 2014, shortly after the death by cancer of Philip Chevron on 8 October 2013.
