Oh and I love the Popes version of "She Moved Through The Fair" as well. Corking intro.



I know it's not necessarily a "solo" song, but hearing Ronnie Drew sing "The Dunes" is absolutely fucking incredible. It is on youtube somewhere...Ronnie sining solo....I just can't be fucked to find it at the moment.................
I'm wondering what kind of instrumentation Shane would have put on a recorded version of this?

Oh, and "Will you come the bower" and "Spanish lady" always sounded a bit uninspired to me. I think they lack a bit of energy.


Spanish Lady has great drumming on it!

Did Shane write it or is it an old song!


It was written by Mr Traditional


Ooh, that guy's good. Too bad he hasn't written any new songs lately.

IrishRover sort of wrote:That one's a traditional song, and not Shane's solo (with Popes). Nevertheless, I agree that it's brilliantly performed.

Only kinda correct.

"Waltzing Matilda" is often called a traditional, though the lyrics were (according to Wikipedia) written by Aussie poet Banjo Paterson and set to music by Christina Macpherson.

"And the Band played Waltzing Matilda," the song the Pogues cover on the Rum, Sodomy & The Lash album, was written by Eric Bogle.
