That'd be Joey Cashman. He's not actually a roadie, more like Shane's personal assistant. They bicker at each other like an old married couple.

There was an interesting fella who was setting up the instruments for the Pogues when I saw them in Boston...at first I was like "Shane?????" because it looked just like him only with long hair and a headband...he looked pretty badass...who is this guy and do any of you have any good stories about him?

sounds like Joey, he was wearing a head-band, but im not so sure he LOOKS like Shane

Watch the Shane documentary "If I should Fall from grace with God - The Shane MacGowan Story". That has some great Joey moments.

Joey did look like quite the rogue during the Boston shows.

There's a review elsewhere on the fora where Joey is described as "equally weathered" in reference to Shane. That's some funny shit.

Joey is looking more like Keef Richards these days.

There is a FAN PAGE with comprehensive info about the "weathered" guy, and some stories too.

I was wondering if Joey is MacRua. I mean it looks like Joey on his avitar. Maybe it's really Joey Cashman. :wink:

This page was made by a Serbian fan, inspired by and using info from the fan page mentioned above.

Not quite sure this is very fan-like....

At Pogues gig (15 Mar 2007, Roseland, New York):
photo 1 - "...Shane being hoisted onto the stage in his wheelchair and wheeled out by an assistant who can only be described as an Irish version of trailer trash."
photo 2 - "...Shane in wheelchair, Joey Cashman lighting his fags, tending to him like his invalid grandmother."

Who is the roadie with the long hair that looked like Shane?
