Shane MacGowan – A Life Less Ordinary
A Short Fan-Made Docu-Film
This video is a Short Fan-Made Documentary Film that covers Shane MacGowan life and works. Following the singer-Songwriter from his childhood in West Tipperary, Ireland over to London. Documenting his Musical Career. Firstly with The Nips and his rise to fame as the Lead Singer and Frontman of the 1980’s London-Irish Punk-Folk band The Pogues.
The movie features Interviews from some of the people who were close to Shane and worked with him including Nick Drake, Johnny Depp. For only being Twenty Minutes long, I think they make a really good effort here and well worth a watch, especially if you’re not so familiar with Shane MacGowan or his work. It does well to describe who Shane was, not only as an artist but also as a person. He was certainly well loved throughout the world by Fans and Celebrities alike.
What Did You think?
Well, I thought it was a good effort and shows just how well admired Shane MacGowan was amongst both his Fans and contemporaries. Even though I found most of the stuff covered, I already knew. But thats because I’m already a Fan of the artist and the Pogues. So thats no surprise but I thought it was a good effort and ideal for anyone unacquainted with the artists life and works.
