Very sorry for your loss.
Spoke to your father at Brixton Academy years ago. Great guy.

I remember well your dad's posts on here. Always interesting and intelligent contributions. I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear this.

I never met Firehazard, but I always enjoyed reading his posts here, and I also followed him on Twitter.

I hadn't seen any posts from him for a while, and was wondering where he'd got to.

RIP Firehazard.

Really sorry to hear that, I didn't know your father personally but always really enjoyed Firehazard's posts and sense of humour. May he rest in peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I very much enjoyed Peter/firehazard's participation here and have been worried about him since his last visit and sudden disappearance just under a year ago. He was a good man. Thanks for letting us know.

My condolences.

Your father was very kind and I always found his trials and tribulations of making it to Pogues (and other) gigs funny and relatable.
We all dealt with things like volcanic eruptions and East Coast blizzards trying to derail concert plans, but he did it with more class. :wink:

Your Dad always had something interesting to contribute to any subject, even stories about (one of his girls) running into bears.

Thank you for letting us know.

Thank you Shane for your music and lyrics.
Regardless of what is the period of my life, I've always been lulled by your songs, your poetry and will be forever.

He was really knowledgeable and a genuinely witty and astute contributor to Medusa. He was also evidently so proud of his "hazardettes".

He seemed like an absolutely lovely fella and I send my belated condolences to you and to all Peter's family.



I second all those comments, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

I am sorry to hear about your dad. I did wonder what had happened. Thoroughly enjoyed his contributions here. Hope he is enjoying a glass of whiskey with Shane now.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. His very regular posting had stopped so suddenly. I had hoped for the best that he was OK but knew he'd had some health issues. We chatted regularly on here and had lots of common interests as well as the Pogues. We failed spectacularly to meet at any of the gigs but missed each other by only seconds in Birmingham one year in the mid 2000's. I do hope he's having a pint with Shane.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I feared the worst when I saw that Peter hadn't posted on here since last December. I had private meshed him but no reply. I meet your father when I brought him to a gig in Brixton. I picked him up from his house. He always spoke so fondly of his daughters, his 'Hazardettes" and the many gigs you went to.

Take care of yourself and much love from us all here.

Rest in peace Firehazard.

I used to post on here many years ago under the alias "Beisty". I recall your dad, and had many enjoyable discussions with him. Sorry to hear he has passed, and hope he and Shane are enjoying a drink along with Sinead, Daryl, Philip, Kirsty and Joe, and the others who have also now left us.

Such a big shock, even though I knew by the look of him that it was coming, and it was a year last Sunday when I lost my Jake too, so that hasn't helped.

I never knew Shane, but I know many people that know the people who were close to him.

My condolences to Victoria, Siobhan, and the rest of the family.

RIP Shane.

Well 24 hours since we found out the worse, we knew it was coming some day, but some would say it came later than expected others would say to early.
Like others Shane & Pogues have been a big part of my life and i loved the music immensely. So thanks Shane for the music and the memories.
Now imagine the party on other side last night, Therese, Sinead, Cush, Joe Strummer, The Dubliners, Kirsty, Phillip, Darryl and probably a few more, not much RIP there last night!
Cheers. Welshie.
