Who the hell is the second singer of "old" Pogues?

A hell of a stupid question, I was quite sure it was Spider Stacy, but after checking out later Pogues where he's lead singer, and hearing the new Dropkick Murphys album, I'm suddenly in doubt. Since I was quite sure, I never bothered checking it out till now either.

I'm talking about songs like Recruiting Seargant, Young Ned of The Hill, South Australia etc.... :oops:

Damn ! I'd like to know too...

EDIT : For Young Ned of the Hill, that's Terry.

Those all sound a lot like Terry to me.

Spider sings on quite a few others though, like Down in the Ground.

On Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go, Shane sings both lead and answer/backing part. An amazing piece that might be called psychedelic at some point in the future.

my step-mom used to sing that song to me as a bedtime lullaby (or a version very similar). Safe to say I had Worm dreams during a large portion of my young childhood.
:shock:


now I sing (Andrews version) to my neice and Nephew when I see them.

doesn't bother their dreams a bit.

I blame the media.

Is that really true? The answer part sounds exactly like Spider to me...

It is Spider. Who, don't forget, was originally meant to be the band's lead singer...
