Waxie's Dargle + Leaving of Liverpool

[TheIrishRover]

Who sings "Waxie's Dargle" with Shane? Also, who is it that shouts and stuff on the end of "Leaving of Liverpool"?

Waxie's was the pogues whistle player was it not? I need to go listen to Liverpool before offering an opinion.............least favourite pogues tune due to inbuilt Mancunian bias.....................

[TheIrishRover]

I'm fairly sure it's two people shouting in the end. It's my favorite song, but I do like Manc's football team.

Edit: This reminds me of one time I woke up in the middle of the night. I woke up, and all I could think about was "Worsley... Where the hell have I heard that?" Then I logged onto this when I turned on the computer and remembered that's where you're from!

But remember "it's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me...", so that should be ok even for a Mancunian.

I'm sat in Worsley at the mo!!!!!

Don't let any Salfordians tell you they are Mancs

If a dog sleeps in a barn it doesn't turn into a horse!

Though I may be IN Salford It's a manc I am!

[Tiny Tartanella]

Being a Manchester lad from Fallowfield, I understand, I work in Worsley myself, in fact I'm sat in work typing this. Don't get the Manchester references in the song, Am I being simple, won't be the first time.

I'm going through massive Pogues phase at the mo, I have to make a conscience decision NOT to listen to ‘em, Madnes!!!!!!!!

PS Did you know that "Dirty Old Town" was written about Salford, or so I was told.

Yes, that's right - Salford was the birthplace of the song's author, Ewan MacColl.
