The instrument you're wondering about is the Uilleann pipes (the Irish bagpipes). RIP, Shane.

I love that song! Great suggestion!

[@BuddyBoy68]

Definitely! I have suggested this more than once already. Hopefully, they will pick this one up some day. 👍

[@ianarnett]

The song is I believe “The Wild Rover”? According to many sources it derived from England, not Ireland, although there is no irrefutable proof either way. Anyway, your recommendation for that version is excellent!👍

[@BuddyBoy68]

@ianarnett "No, Nae, Never!"... 'The Wild Rover' is a very different song that was also covered by The Dubliners. Just Google 'The Dubliners and The Pogues Irish Rover' and you'll see what I mean. It was recorded by Toronto band 'The Irish Rovers' for their debut in 1966 and covered by 'The Dubliners with The Pogues' in 1987.

[@ianarnett]

The Pogues are Londoner's of Irish parents, Shane was a wonderful poet, as well as singer, he passed earlier in the year. The instruments, were bango, mandalin uillian pipes penny whistle, harmonica, drums guitar. They were like punk rock with an Irish twist.❤

Was actually late last year. Big loss, RIP.

[@BuddyBoy68]

The Pogues band was formed in London, but they were not originally from there, individually. Shane was born in Kent, although spent a lot of his time in Ireland and considered himself Irish rather than English. The other band members were from across England and some were from Ireland too. This song is most famously considered Irish and sounds like it, but, as others have already said, it's not. 🤔

@@chuckhutton5087 I totally agree! I prefer the oboe rendition, but I read that Shane liked the coronet version. I also read somewhere that Shane had written the lyrics and wasn't totally satisfied so tossed them in the trash. Spider Stacy retrieved them, loved Shane's words, helped put music to them, then voila......like you said "one of the most beautifully written songs..."

[@user-rd7nn7py7r]

The song was actually about the northern English town of Salford. At the time Ewen McColl wrote it, it was a very industrialised town and the song is basically about a man growing up in it , meeting his wife etc. Shane MacGowan is also a great poetic songwriter in his own right too and you should definitely check out more of his own songs.

[@ca9968]

I used to live in Salford and always used to sing this to myself when I was walking down London Road going back and forth to Manchester...a truly dirty old town it is!

[@ShannonR1969]

Their version of "I Fought the Law" is a banger. And "Waltzing Matilda" will absolutely break your heart.

[@pietzsche]

It's "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" just in case anyone wants to look it up, it's not actually Waltzing Matilda itself. Incredible track, about Australians being sent to fight at Gallipoli.

[@TristanandIsolt]

"The Band played waltzing Mathilda" from The Pogues is also worth a reaction :-)

Other fun facts: 1) Elvis Costello produced this album; 2) Cait "Rocky" O'Riordan, original Pogues bassist seen here, married Costello and they were together for 15 years. She appeared only on this and their debut album.

[@ugadawgs1990]

They are mainly English born, with a few members subsequently joining from Ireland. While Shane McGowan was the child of Irish immigrants, the rest of the original band were English with no Irish background whatsoever, though they had some familiarity with the Irish cultural scene in London at that time. 👍🏻🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@markdermody9698]

Yeah an Anglo-Irish group originally named Pogue Mahone from the Gaelic Irish meaning "Kiss My Arse"! They were originally punks but went on to become more Irish Folk but blended other types of music into their style too. This is a classic Irish Song and I love it!

[@johnmorgan9553]

"Dirty Old Town" is a song written by Ewan MacColl in 1949 . The song was written about Salford, then in Lancashire, England, the area where MacColl was born and brought up.

This is about Salford, which is as described. A 2005 survey rated the city as the 9th worst place to live in the UK. The tune was written by Ewan MacColl in 1949. I see someone else mentioned he was Kristy's Dad, the gal that sang on 'Tale of New York' with Shane.

[@edwardlongshanks827]

The Pogues were formed in London as a celtic punk band back in 1982. The original members were all born in England but I believe they were all of Irish heritage. _Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash_ is an excellent album. I've liked every song on it since I first heard it back in Aug 1985. It was the second album they released, the first being _Red Roses for Me._ Their third album, _If I Should Fall From Grace with God,_ is the album with Fairytale of New York on it.

[@davidpaterson2309]

“Rum, sodomy and the lash” is allegedly a quote from Winston Churchill. When he was First Lord of the Admiralty (ie head of the British navy) he attempted some modernising reforms, which were resisted by the admirals. One of them complained that he was overturning “the time-honoured traditions of the service” to which Churchill was reported to have snorted “Time-honoured traditions? Rum, sodomy and the lash.”

[@keithosmond5730]

The first Hothouse Flowers album is killer; not a bad track on there.

[@slimhazard]

In 1989 the Berlin Wall opened, and from a few hours away in Hamburg I wanted to go see it all for myself. But I waited a day, because I had tickets to a Pogues concert the next night, and I‘ve never regretted it. The band was *stoked* to be touring in Germany while this history was happening. They dedicated the song “Gridlock“ to the people of East Germany (the traffic jams to get to the west were hundreds of miles long by then). Shane MacGowan, as always, was passionate, excessive, emotional, and drunk off his gourd. “Dirty Old Town“ had the entire crowd singing along and swaying arm in arm. One of the best concert experiences of my life. I made it to Berlin the next day, where everyone was hung over after two days of celebration.

[@s.s.2048]

[@thevocalcrone]

I had never heard if it but to be honest I suspect we would have to be Australian and potentially Irish Australian to fully appreciate the lyrics. Many are not aware the Irish descent still had living family in Ireland and Britain promised to withdraw from Ireland if the Irish fought with them and they won. So all the Aussie Irish with not my war enlisted, to have Ireland for the Irish, I have about five great uncles killed at Gallipoli or injured. Irish had big families. One of my extended family lost all five of her sons. The Irish were good horsemen so ended up in the light horse. Either way their version of waltzing Matilda is quite emotive. Recommend people listen to the original first or read the song lyrics so they know what the Pogues are grieving in their lyrics

Song written by Ewan MacColl, father of Kirsty who sang Fairytale Of New York with the Pogues. It's about Salford, a town on the outskirts of Manchester, England. The Pogues are Irish. Pogue is an anglicised version of Póg, which means Kiss. The band got their name supposedly from an Irish phrase Póg Mo Hón, pronounced Pogue muh hone, which means Kiss My A**., True story 😉

Rainy Night in Soho is a very beautiful Pogues song

[@edgardner6798]

The Pogues were definitely Irish. One of my favourites is, ‘The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ and ‘A Pare Of Brown Eyes’. I’d love to see you both review both or either one. All the best.

Spider Stacey playing a tin whistle. And someone else mentioned the Uillean pipes. One of the best sounds in music!

This song is written by an English composer with Scottish Parents, about an English Town (Salford), played here by a great irish Band using the Uiellain Pipes which sound similar to the bagpipes so Jay your suggested Scottish influence is defo in this song

No one tells a story like Shane MacGowan.

This is originally a song by an English folk singer about his home town of Salford - one of the many soot dirty northern industrial towns of England 😊
