Third Country Radio Episode 53: A Final Toast to Shane

Former Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan sadly passed away on November 30, 2023 at the age of 65. One of his generation's finest lyricists, Shane leaves behind a wealth of remarkable songs that we celebrate today. As well as great music by MacGowan's own bands, we also have covers by Nick Cave, Christy Moore and The Working Class Symphony.
