----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have played their “Best Of” to death over the years. Hard to pick a best out of this lot …

1 Fairytale of New York (feat. Kirsty MacColl)
2 Sally MacLennane
3 Dirty Old Town
4 The Irish Rover (feat. The Dubliners)
5 A Pair of Brown Eyes (Edit)
6 Streams of Whiskey
7 A Rainy Night in Soho
8 Fiesta
9 Rain Street
10 Misty Morning, Albert Bridge
11 White City
12 Thousands Are Sailing
13 The Broad Majestic Shannon
14 The Body of an American

His waltzing Matilda rendition he does is amazing.

Play Pogues and Dubliners a lot in the car. Only saw a pic of him last week and he looked awful so no surprise.

McGowan, Darling and Kissinger.

Busy time for the reaper.

Mad to think Darling only lasted 5 years longer than McGowan considering their vastly different lifestyles.

Body of an American is a banger and always makes me want to watch The Wire immediately after hearing it.

Sally MacLenane another banger.

Total change of pace but I really enjoy their version of And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

His version of Waltzing Matilda is indeed a beaut. I like his 100 mph stuff, Sick bed of Cuchulainn, ladies darhle boys from the county Hell, bottle of smoke as well as his more melancholic old man drag and streets of sorrow/Birmingham six.

Ah its a sad day.

Wtf is "ladies darhle" when it was meant to read Waxies Dargle...

Saw them live twice and by some distance the maddest, wild, exciting gigs I've ever been to

Not my fav band but certainly in my top ten, as has been said I'd toil to pick my best tune of theirs and it changes dependant on my mood but will defo miss him and his attitude
