U2, Bob Geldof and Kingfishr among new additions to Shane MacGowan tribute album line-up – as full tracklist revealed

The complete artist line-up and tracklist has been revealed for 20th Century Paddy - The Songs of Shane MacGowan – with U2, Bob Geldof, Kingfishr, David Keenan, Jimmy Artache and Tom Creagh joining the previously announced list of contributors.

Ahead of the star-studded tribute album's release on November 13, via Rubyworks, two songs from the tracklist have already been shared as singles: Bruce Springsteen's cover of 'A Rainy Night In Soho' and Johnny Depp and Imelda May's rendition of 'Haunted'.

“It is not possible to say how much it means to me and to Shane’s family to have this extraordinary collection of his songs being sung in tribute to him, to his work and to Irish music," says MacGowan's wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, who officially revealed the full tracklist today, in partnership with Rubyworks. "When I first met Shane in the early 80’s he was inflamed with a powerful, passionate mission to bring Irish music, history and culture to the attention of the world through his songwriting.

"It made him feel like the happiest man alive to know that he had achieved his mission, and that there were many more musicians who came after him and who seized that torch and lit fires with it in places that he had not even dreamed of," she continues. "Some of those younger artists are featured on this album, and I know that Shane is overjoyed to hear their beautiful and soulful renditions of his songs.

"Also featured are artists who came before him, and who inspired him and artists that he worked with, artists who he loved and admired. There are so many that it is not possible to mention them all by name but each and every contribution is unique and inspired and sublime and I thank these beautiful people from the very depths of my own soul.”
