Summary:
"October 1982: ABC, Culture Club, Shalamar and Survivor dominate the top twenty when the
Pogues
barrel out from the backstreets of King's Cross, a furious, pioneering mix of punk energy, traditional melodies and the powerfully poetic songwriting of Shane MacGowan. Reviled by traditionalists for their frequently fast, often riotous interpretations of Irish folk songs, the
