Past members have included Mick O’Connell (accordion), Kieran “Mo” O’ Hagan (Acoustic guitar, vocals), John Myers (fiddle, tin whistle), Danny Heatley (aka Danny Pope) (drums) … , Seamus “Rapey” Murphy (accordion), Berni “The Undertaker” France (bass), Ulick McGhee (oboe), Colm O’Maonlai (whistle), Kieran Kiely (accordion, whistle) and Leeson O’Keeffe (Electric guitar, banjo, vocals). Longtime band member Tom “McAnimal” McManamon (banjo) died on 15 December 2006.Scottish violinist laura Mcghee played with the popes at the Barrowlands and went down a storm when she played fairytale in new york with shane who said of the dundee lass i would love to see her get more air time on scottish radio as she is big in America
Following his departure from The Pogues in 1991, MacGowan returned in 1994 with this new band, whose debut album “The Snake” was critically acclaimed and showed that MacGowan’s creative juices were very much still flowing. A second album, “The Crock Of Gold”, was released in 1997 and was, for the most part, more traditionally oriented.

Tylin'!!Shane is a legend. who else could do a gig whilst his liver was pickling in whiskey, could only remain upright with the aid of his mic stand and had to pop backstage in between song to ''freshen up'' ....... True Pogues Mahones

If you'r fans of Shane MacGowan and the Pogues, you should really check out Greenland Whalefishers. They have a very similar sound and a singer sounding much like the young Shane MacGowan. I discovered them about two moths ago, and it's like finding 6 "forgotten" Pogues albums. Here's Greenland Whalefishers LastFm page: http://www.last.fm/music/Greenland+Whalefishers Cheers!

I love the Crock of Gold album! The Snake too though... both pure masterpieces! Shane sounds great, and his way of expressing himself has always been great. Pure genius! By the way, why does "That Woman's Got Me Drinking Again" hundreds of more plays than the other songs? Because Johnny Depp played guitar on it?

Why "Crock of Gold" is not seen as a great album is a mystery to me. St. John of Gods is one of Shane's best songs ever. An absolute classic, imbued with a confident sense of Irish popular music and a mode of address to the listener which exudes an intelligent understanding of the place of music and performance in the social. A masterpiece.

Why is That Woman's got Me Drinking so much higher than the others? is it on a soundtrack or something?

Crock pales in comparison to The Snake. The latter would have fit perfectly between the Pogues' Rum, Sodomy & the Lash and If I Should Fall...
