THE POGUES

THE POGUES

They became famous for their rowdy rock, inspired by traditional Celtic music, but the drinking habits of their leader led to a certain ... unpredictability, if you will...

Never knowing what might happen is an apt description of the Pogues' fun-loving songs, which zigzag between tender ballads and thrashing jigs. The Pogues were a collection of grammar-school dropouts and art-school graduates, and an unusual success story: a democratic group in which the members divvy up song-writing royalties and take turns concocting each night's set list; a nearly egoless band that candidly voices disappointment with its work; a constantly touring group that passed up important TV appearances to spend time with loved ones (many of the members are happily married). All in all, a rare island of humanity in the music business.
