Shane MacGowan is looking for a dentist

The Pogues twitter account earlier this week tweeted that MacGowan was looking for a doctor to work on his teeth.

"ALERT! Job offer of lifetime. Any Pogues/Shane Mac fans who are great dentists please tweet @Victoriamary to work on the great man himself!" their account said.

Victoria Mary Clarke, Shane's partner, then tweeted that the singer promises to do an advertising campaign for the winning dentist.

Ashgrove Dental of Naas have offered to grant MacGowan his wish free of charge but as of yet have not been contacted about the venture.
