Tom Dunne: These are the artists I'd love to see on the Shane MacGowan covers album
The first anniversary of Shane MacGowan's death occurs on Saturday, November 30.
Shane MacGowan will be a year gone on Saturday. But his memory, the life of his songs, his voice on the radio, seems stronger than ever. There is talk of a biopic with Barry Keoghan playing Shane, and audiences still throng to all Shane-related gigs.
Even the Nenagh mural is described by locals as a much loved ‘focal point’ an achievement in public art. It is as you would expect from a man who bequeath us, as Andrew Ranken put it, “those brilliant, timeless, shining songs.” May they shine forever.
