Shane McGowan Died 2023.

Shane died a few weeks ago. He was born in the late 1950s, in England to Irish parents, but spent some of his childhood visiting relatives in Ireland. He had a talent for writing and got into a public school in London but was expelled. He became addicted to drugs and alcohol, and began to write music, and to become a figure on the London punk scene. He and his band, the Pogues, had a lot of success in the 1980s, having invented music which was a mixture of punk and Irish folk music. However his drug problems and generally wild behaviour, began to damage his health and he was fired by the band. He continued to perform and write but his health was increasingly poor. He married but never had children. He had a great admiration for the Irish writer Brendan Behan and also for James Clarence Mangan.

Rough Music BY Nadine Sutton

This is one of my novellas set in the American music business. It takes place in 1979-80 and its about a country rock band, who have worked their way up from singing in bars, and small gigs, to some TV work and touring. Jeff Randles, the lead singer loves country music, and tries to steer a course between commercial work and doing serious country music. He and his best friend, Brandon, both have difficult marriages, which are strained because they spend so much time on tour. The story is available on Amazon.
