Although not a Pogues cover here's a link to a song i'm sure many of you will like, got to see this band recently, played a few Pogues tracks absolute quality!

Anybody else seen or heard of them? What are yer thoughts?

I’ve listened only to the mp3s at their websiteand judging from them, GWF are great!

Apart from Father MacLean, which you mentioned, I like especially Darkland and July Morning. Arvid sings like Shane’s double – call it a shameless imitation, but it’s good fun. Brilliant band following in Pogues’ footsteps.

I happened upon GWF a few months ago, and promptly ordered all their albums. They are indeed great! And yes, I agree, Arvid does sound just like Shane, it's amazing.

That Norwegian geezer does sound like Shane when he doesnt sound like the Psychedelic Furs.I do like it though.Greenland Whale Fishers.

Yes, GWF is great. Specially their last album is impressive.
I don't think that Arvid is a Shane double by any means though.. It's just that he got a dark scratchy voice and try to mimic Shane's style of singing alot.
It's very, very, very, very -and some additional very's- easy to tell them apart.
If not- you need to listen to both bands more!

It's not the same at all!!!

Also Shane is a bit more dynamic..

But most of you just listened to those low quality mp3s i presume.

I've got "The Mainstreet Sword" and "The Streets of Salvation" both quality albums getting hold of them over here is a struggle tho. Which one was there last album?

Streets of Salvation, Mainstreet sword is the first one.
I ordered my albums from Agnes at their site: http://www.g-w-f.com
I didn't get the chance to pay for them, feel bad about that. They didn't reply mails when I told them they forgot about it. heheh.
