Here we have a great little gem for fans of London-Irish Folk Punk band The Pogues. An early Radio broadcast of the group playing live on the John Peel Sessions on the 4th of December, 1984. A brilliant performance from the band with Four of their best.

The Pogues
The Pogues were a London-Irish, Punk-Folk band who invented Celtic Punk. They took the Traditional Irish Ballads that theyd grown up listening to, but fused them with their ow3n Punk style to bring about their own unique sound and style. This style later became known as ‘Celtic-Punk’ and The Pogues Inspired many bands. Many groups such as The Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Blood or Whiskey and many more have taken after the Pogues and have always hailed them as a great Influence.
But none could match the rawness and originality of The Pogues. However, there’s a lot of groups out there that make a brilliant effort.
