Acclaimed music photographer Andrew Catlin has an outstanding collection of photographs of a young Shane MacGowan and The Pogues. The collection opens with a brilliant note from a London members club politely requesting, “Dear Andy, I’d be grateful if you didn’t bring in again the guy who introduced himself as Shane MacGowan.”

Andrew’s photos of Shane and the band span nearly 10 years including the famous Devonshire pub (Camden Town) days, the first European tour, the original ‘Rum, Sodomy & The Lash’ gigs, the filming of ‘Fiesta’ and Shane’s solo ‘Church of the Holy Spook’ days. Enjoy!
