Lovely BBC radio doc about Shane Macgowan, with his wife, and his sister, and Nick Cave, and Bono, and Geldof, and Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and all

I particularly enjoyed

  • the detail about the Broad Majestic Shannon from Shane’s sister

  • Bob Geldof initially dismissing the Pogues as “paddy-whackery”

  • the bloke from the Wire on The Body of An American
