Very sad but imressed he went this long with thelife he led!

Proper genius, merging genres and traditions with a unique stamp. An incredible song writer in his pomp.

One of my regrets, not seeing the Pogues at their hight. Saw them on one of their later Xmas shows but the spark had gone by then.

Thanks for the tunes Shane - you danced to no one's tune and I'll miss you in the corner at Spoons.
