Pogues – Red Roses For Me

NEW VINYL LP ON RHINO 2015

180 GRAM VINYL

Soulful and soused, usually in equal parts, The Pogues music combined the youthful spirit of punk with ancient Celtic melodies to create a sublime racket thats been described as the Sex Pistols setting fire to The Chieftains. The Pogues – vocalist Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy on tin whistle, accordion player James Fearnley, Jeremy Jem Finer on banjo, drummer Andrew David Ranken, and bassist Cait ORiordan made their debut in 1984 with Red Roses For Me. The albums 13 songs established the bands unique sound as it mixed MacGowan’s radical originals – Transmetropolitan and Dark Streets Of London – with traditional Irish tunes – The Auld Triangle and Poor Paddy.
