About

The Pogues are an English Celtic punk / folk band founded as [a=Pogue Mahone] ("kiss my arse" in Gaelic) in London in the early 1980s.

Founder & front man Shane MacGowan was fired in 1991, going on to form Shane MacGowan And The Popes. The band continued, with some lineup changes (including the temporary addition of Joe Strummer), until 1996. The group reformed in 2001, and played their final show in August 2014, shortly after the death by cancer of Philip Chevron on 8 October 2013. Darryl Hunt died on 8 August 2022, and MacGowan passed away on 30 November 2023.

[a=Spider Stacy], James Fearnley, and Jem Finer reconvened under The Pogues' name, with a long list of special guests, for a series of shows in 2024 & 2025 curated by Stacy to celebrate the 40th anniversaries of Red Roses For Me and Rum Sodomy & The Lash.

Drummer and occasional vocalist [a=Andrew Ranken] died on 10 February, 2026.
