Richard Balls: the intoxicating songs and chaotic life of Shane MacGowan
Word In Your Ear - Ein Podcast von Mark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold
Kategorien:
‘A Furious Devotion' is just out, written by Richard Balls after long conversations and nights spent with Shane and interviews with members of the Pogues, old girlfriends, former teachers and collaborators (Nick Cave, Sinead O’Connor and Christy Moore among them). This covers childhood times in Tipperary, his ‘genius’ school years, fierce debates about his Irish identity, the full story of Fairytale of New York, his marriage, how the band put up with him and the cussed old curmudgeon he is today (a taste: this is a man who shuns computers, mobiles and email and won’t turn the TV down when being interviewed). A revelation from start to finish.@RichardBalls https://omnibuspress.com/products/a-furious-devotion-the-life-of-shane-macgowan-published-on-7th-october-2021 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Furious-Devotion-Life-Shane-MacGowan/dp/1787601080 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Richard-Balls/e/B0034Q6Q8C%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon and receive every Word Podcast before the rest of the world: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
