Fundraiser Shout Out
The Popes Support the Iona School Charity
The show will be held at Junktion7 in Nottingham on Sat Dec 13th doors open at 7.30pm until midnight and is a fabulous opportunity to raise awareness for the school.
Shane MacGowan formed The Popes to record his album 'The Snake' in 1994 after leaving The Pogues. It is the last show outside London until the much awaited new album release in Feb 09 ‘Outlaw Heaven’ featuring Shane McGowan and Spider Stacey (The Pogues).
From that original line up are Paul (Mad Dog) McGuinness, on vocals and guitars (Paul originally played with The Pogues, his first performance being live on the David Letterman show, plucked from the technical team at a moment's notice!).
After releasing 2 sell out singles - 'Are You Looking At Me' and 'Holloway Boulevard' on Scarlet Records - The Popes signed to Snapper Records and released their debut album ‘Holloway Boulevard’ with a 'never been done before' - (and I should imagine never again!!) one day - 6 venues - musical pub crawl along the Holloway Road in North London!!
After recording another live album with Shane in New York on St Patrick’s Day (Across the Broad Atlantic), and extensive touring, Paul began writing material for the new album.
Tickets for the event will be £10 each in advance from www.ticketweb.co.uk or directly over the bar at Junktion7. There are only limited tickets available. Book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
