For The Love of Shane MacGowan
Direct from their sensational 2024 Edinburgh Fringe sell-out run!
A celebration of the life of Shane MacGowan (The Pogues and The Popes) by his friend John McLaughlin, and his 7-piece band, intertwining an extended 90-minute set of classic songs of the great man with stories and fond memories of their times together.
John McLaughlin (hit singer / songwriter / producer of Johnny Mac & The Faithful) and his 7-piece band perform songs of his friend and genius Shane MacGowan (The Pogues and The Popes). Johnny and his band blast through the classic songs of the great man whilst McLaughlin shares fond memories of their times writing and recording together and of course going to the pub!
This homage is a celebration of the life and works of one of the greatest artists of all time and is endorsed by Shane’s wife, Victoria Clarke. So, let’s all raise a glass to Shane MacGowan!
“Shane loved working and spending time with John and would always smile fondly when John’s name came up in conversation. He said one of his proudest moments was shared with John at Celtic Park performing with the Lisbon Lions.”�Victoria Mary Clarke
“For the Love of Shane MacGowan vividly evoked the great man’s soul and his voice, clearly showing the love those behind the tribute had for him. I felt privileged to have attended.”
Miriam Trujillo (Binge Fringe review)
“Johnny Mac & the Faithful bring such joy and happiness to the crowds! They are the best opening act I have ever had! I love them so much I got them to play at my Christmas party in my house!!”�Rod Stewart
“For the love of Shane MacGowan! – John McLaughlin is first and foremost a music fan. So when he wrote and recorded songs with Shane MacGowan it was the ultimate labour of love. I know his heart will be filled with pride as he pays a personal tribute to his friend – in words and music – and celebrates the incredible achievements of the lead singer of The Pogues.”�Billy Sloan
