Here's one of my favourites.

looks like Kieran Kiely left Ronan Keating for teaming up with Sinead O'Connor. http://www.sineadoconnor.com/live.htm

There's some mean video of a session with Chris Sadler, Mick O'Connell & Tom MacManamon on her myspace which is worth checking out!

Mick O'Connell played accordion for a while. Does anybody know what he's doing these days?

I "filched" it from http://www.shanemacgowan.com PRS front page.
My guess is Mundy name waspencilled in on one /both of Shanes solo Irish dates before the Pogues tour.But that would be a guess, I did not go to these shows. Think some of these Irish dates were cancelled/dates rearranged.You would also note that I had a question mark on this line up as I was unsure about it.

"...As you know Shane is back to playing and recording with a brand new band called The Shane Gang (bass player Jack Dublin and drummer Paul Byrne with Johnny Daly on guitar and Sarge O’Hara on keyboard plus support from Joey Cashman on whistle)...."

Different guitar player listed on above myspace link.Not sure about Shane having a myspace page.
PRS has been about a good few years and run by good people ,the front page is not often up dated but my guess is the line up was true at some point.

PRS?! Then it makes sense and explains a lot. Yes, it used to be a great source of info. Years ago. If only those responsible for it bothered to update it in time and with reliable info.
The line up you found on their front page had been true a month before the very first gig. Ingrid was quick to lift it up elsewhere and never could be arsed to get back to it and correct when it was obvious that there would be no signs of Mundy. There are hundreds of witnesses, there are reviews, photos and - as somebody has pointed it out here - a dozen of videos at youtube. Check them yourself! And don't trust whatever you find on front pages. Coz Paul Aungier didn't play guitar there too, though he was invited to take care of sound.

"Mundy - guitar" is total rubbish, isn't it? "quote guest.Apparently not rubbish at all ,as you say above it was true for a month before the gig.

It seems like you clearly know the line up for the new band,please tell .
