Page "Shane MacGowan" Paragraph 19

Speaking on BBC Four's Folk Britannia television programme in early 2006, Robyn Hitchcock recalled: " I remember going to the Hope and Anchor punk venue in London.

The Pogues were all on stage and ready, it was a full house, but they hadn't started yet.

Then this character shambled in through the door and shambled downstairs.

I thought, ' Jesus, you're not letting that guy in are you ?'.

Then he walked on stage.

That guy was Shane MacGowan.
