A Drink with Shane MacGowan was a new form of chat show hosted by the notorious Pogues frontman, and commissioned in the 1990s by Channel 4 arts supremo Waldemar Januszczak. However, they never broadcast this anarchic debut featuring live music, lively discussion between actors, writers, and musicians, pizza, and a fair few drinks...

Featuring in this episode: Johnny Depp, Traci Lords, Joe Gores, Chris Penn, Sy Richardson, Del Zamora, and music from Los Lobos, Jimmy Weatherspoon, and Homewreckers.

    3:02 who hasn't binged on Shane MacGowan and The Pogues since his Death. His funeral was Epic they came from all around the world to pay their respects to the genius that Shane was and as the boss Bruce Springsteen simply put it That Shane's songs will be still be played in 100 years time. Beautifully Said by the Boss. 💚🙏

    This whole thing is worth it just for Shane performing "We Gotta Get Outta This Place" with Los Lobos! I feel like I've found a lost treasure. RIP Shane.❤

    The version of I Ain't Got You is insane, will get you drunk as hell just listening to it without a drop to drink! Thank you for posting, RIP Shane, poet laureate, drinking with the saints on the sunny side of blue heaven

    How wonderful to be able to see that. This wild bunch of different individuals, so personal and close, like a cheerful group in the pub next door...that's a wonderful format for a show. This idea should be taken up again and continued...especially in this day and age when everything has become so artificial and has to be perfect. This familiar, spontaneous atmosphere without pressure or script makes it all the better. I love it!

    wow, this is fuckin surreal. Johnny Depp, Chris Penn, Traci Lords and Shane Macgowan in the same place getting hammered? what a pop culture clash. or maybe a pop culture harmony?
  • @fangpili
    Always frustrated me how people never fully listened to what Shane was saying or interrupted him. He always noticed but let it go. His thoughts were clear but his speech was slow.
  • Wow, I got here after falling into a Shane MacGowan YouTube hole. Next thing I know I'm watching Shane shooting the shit with Chris Penn (RIP), Johnny Depp, Tracy Lords, and assorted others. Then I get to see Los Lobos playing one of their greatest songs. Crazy the way this shit happens. Thanks for posting this. Peace.
  • My neighbour is a great friend of Sean as far as I know they went to school together back in the day after the pups they would have sessions in the house. Sean’s home is just out the road a few miles from Nenagh co Tipperary. Was a familiar Figure around town he had 2 pups that were his favourites philly Ryan’s and Rohan’s great pups for the sessions and craic My youngest son and his friends met him one evening when they were going to the shop and of course the were waving at him he got out and asked them to tell him a joke well my son was not shy and told him a joke he laughed and gave them all money for sweets they were young then but never forgot it he was talking to them for a good while and had them in stitches laughing. His a legend love him. Don’t hear or see him around much anymore. I seen him in mass one Sunday with his mother before she died.
  • Holy fuck!!! I've been tryin to track down a copy of this for years, and here it is, uploaded out of nowhere!

    I will never forget drinking with Danny and some of the pope's and going with my bro on the guest list. We had a fab night, after party . I really feel sad this week and my deepest sympathy is with his lovely wife Victoria and his family, mates. What a kind, beautiful soul Shane was and he will no doubt be laughing and joking in heaven.
