“Shane loved working and spending time with John and would always smile fondly when John’s name came up in conversation. He said one of his proudest moments was shared with John at Celtic Park performing with the Lisbon Lions.”
Victoria Mary Clarke
“Johnny Mac & the Faithful bring such joy and happiness to the crowds! They are the best opening act I have ever had! I love them so much I got them to play at my Christmas party in my house!!”
Rod Stewart
“For the love of Shane MacGowan! – JOHN McLaughlin is first and foremost a music fan. So when he wrote and recorded songs with Shane MacGowan it was the ultimate labour of love. I know his heart will be filled with pride as he pays a personal tribute to his friend – in words and music – and celebrates the incredible achievements of the lead singer of The Pogues.”
