Shane MacGowan : SONGSMITH is the new collection of many previously unpublished Images of SHANE MacGOWAN, lead singer of the Pogues by Photographer Pádraig O Flannabhra.
The images of the book form three distinct categories: The first section is from that ‘once -in- a -blue -moon’ occasion: A MONDAY NIGHT IN POCÁN of the 6th January 1986, Little Christmas or Nollaig na mBan, when the Pogues performed their one and only Concert in SHANE MacGOWAN’S home village of Pocán, Co. Tipperary, at Kennedy’s Lounge .
The middle section is a series of Twelve Black & White Portraits made at the Photographer’s Studio in Silver Street, Nenagh ,when SHANE MacGOWAN sat for his Portrait Session—-‘The Twelve Shanes of Christmas’ in 2003. It was a session that the famous Pogue took sheer delight in playing up to the camera lens . He was totally relaxed and care free in the surroundings of the Studio.The resulting Portraits say it all!
The third and final section of the book, shows the late Pogue’s funeral service and farewell at St. Mary’s of the Rosary Church in Nenagh,Co. Tipperary, on 8th December 2023, which has often been described as the ‘send-off -of -all send-off's
