À propos de cet audio

Punk protagonist, legendary drinker, Irish musical icon. The complete and extraordinary journey of the Pogues' notorious front man from outcast to national treasure has never been told - until now.

A Furious Devotion: The Life of Shane MacGowan vividly recounts the experiences that shaped the greatest songwriter of his generation: the formative trips to his mother's homestead in Tipperary, the explosion of punk that changed his life, and the drink and drugs that nearly ended it.

As well as exclusive interviews with Shane himself, author Richard Balls has secured contributions from his wife and family and people who have never spoken publicly about Shane before: close associates, former girlfriends, and the English teacher who first spotted his literary gift. Nick Cave, Aidan Gillen, Cillian Murphy, Christy Moore, Sinead O'Connor, and Dermot O'Leary are on the rollcall of those paying tribute to the gifted songwriter and poet.

Richard Balls has done a very good job on this book. As a longtime Pogues fan, I’d already heard many of the stories here, but he found fresh takes and at times the renditions made you feel like you were there. I did not love the narration and found mispronunciations and poor attempts at various accents to be a distraction. But all in all, a very good book that I would recommend to MacGowan fans.

Out of all the books and documentaries on Shane MacGowan, this has been my favourite. The narration delivered this story superbly. Definitely would recommend to anyone with interest in Shane, any of his musical projects or the English, Irish culture and history of Celtic music and people.

Great Read 📚
