Shane as he ever was

Hot on the heels of The Pogues' triumphant reunion, Shane MacGowan is back in Ireland this month for a lengthy tour.

Kicking off at The Tower, Carrick-On-Shannon on August 28, MacGowan then proceeds in a disorderly fashion to The Grill, Letterkenny (29); The Quays, Galway (30); Dolan's, Limerick (31); Mustang's, Killarney (September 1); Olympia, Dublin (6 & 7); and South, Tramore (8).

Awaiting confirmation are additional shows in Belfast, Derry and Carlow which, natch, will be announced on hotpress.com
