Just one more snippet from the press:

(...) The Pogues, famed for controversial frontman Shane McGowan`s antics, were presented with the Lifetime Achievement award.

The band, who were first formed in 1982 by McGowan who is famous for his rotten teeth and hard drinking, went on to close the show with special guests The Dubliners with a rendition of `Irish Rover`.

On his way into the event, McGowan strolled up the red carpet shouting "Irish Constitution", before posing with The Pogues for some pictures.

"It is nice to be legend when you are still alive," he said. "A lifetime achievement award is not part of any job really."

Yes. I watched the late movie in my hotel room at the Morrison and, shockingly enough, fell asleep half way through.
