Shane MacGowan 1994 ”I’m proud of Ireland and good that Irish people are proud of me.”
I uploaded the first part of this 1994 interview as a podcast in 2020. I reposted it two days ago when I got the tragic news that Shane had died. May his soul rest in peace. This "singles" podcast is part two of three podcasts from that Irish Times interview. I am delighted that so many people in Ireland in particular, have listened to and downloaded the first Shane interview and put him at the top of an Apple Irish Music interviews podcast charts. And I love, as many will, him saying here to me, "I'm proud of Ireland and good that a lot of Irish people are proud of me."
