I went last night - not sure what the first song was that Shane did, but he played harmonica on it. He kept turning the harmonica over in his hands as I don't think he ever convinced himself it was the right way up. For all that he got a decent noise out of it - the song was meant to be a bit of a racket anyway.
He later did South Australia, with most of the rest of the night's guests backing him (including Suzanne Vega and Tim Robbins, the actor). It was a great shouty version. Tim Robbins played guitar and sang with Shane on the Leaving of Liverpool, which was my highlight of the night - Shane sang all the verses and the rest of the Rogues joined in on the chorus - it got a huge cheer and Shane looked like he was having great fun.
What shall we do with the drunken sailor was a cacophony - Shane added howls and harmonica squeals.
All in all it was a great night and Shane was on good form, merry as a pirate.
