Cool, thanks for the replies. Just got a missile from Amazon today to say it's been posted so hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. Sorted.

I've just ordered this tonight off Amazon - £7.99. Bargain I hope.

How does it compare with the 1971 album?


I'd say it was a better album, it's more Poguesy.

I agree.
I rate it much more highly than the 1971 album. The addition of bass and drums give it a much more rocky/Poguesy feel.

How does it compare with the 1971 album? I think that's a blimmin masterpiece. Is "Music From..." as good as the self-titled one?

Shane and Sparky can be seen gigging around pubs in Dublin most days a week as far as I know.

He has been taken to Monto I think. (along with Fergal Scahill, Garry O'Meara, Connor Smith)

Has Shane Martin gone on to do any recording since this album? I really liked the guy's voice, but a few Google searches didn't get me information about what he's been up to since then.

What about The Gartloney Rats? If you can understand him in that song. And that song "Johnny"? I think it's called "Johnny". About a young lad joining the british army or something like that. Again I can't understand it. His vocals are again too low in the mix. His best work is "Young Ned..."

On the album "Music From The Four Corners of Hell", we have:

Paul Harrigan -- accordian, whistle, and uillean pipes
David "Sparky" Hughes -- electric bass, keyboards and backing vocals
Steve Browne -- drums, percussion and backing vocals
Dave Browne -- acoustic and electric guitars
Shane Martin -- lead vocals
Terry Woods[i] -- mandolin, citern, bouzouki, 5 string banjo, acoustic guitar, concertina and backing vocals.


The downside to downloading music!

Thanks Territa. Yes, this is a great album. I just wish I could hear Terry Woods sing more. I don't know if I can hear him at all. But his mandolin, cittern, concertina, bouzouki, banjo, etc, etc, etc, sound great.
Terry must like having Shanes as lead singers. 8)

Love on Tillery is Paris St Germain which the Pogues recorded, too. I really like Grosse Isle Lament, mighty mighty sound :wink:
