The Medusa Fora

The Popes currently exist without MacGowan, but did they exist before MacGowan joined them or did he form the band?

Me first..............

That'd be an Ecumenical Matter.

The popes were assembled by/for Shane. Mad Dog had been a Pogues roadie/guitar tech prior to his gig with the Popes, and i think the late Tom McManamon had worked in a similar capacity, as well as once filling in on bass. Also, he had been a duo with a later-to-be-a-Pogues James MacNally, Storm, that had opened for the Pogues a bunch.

Everybody got head-hunted!
