Welcome to the second episode of Misadventures in Music with Ian Prowse and Mick Ord.

In the second episode of the Misadventures In Music Podcast - Presenters Ian Prowse and Mick Ord look back on the work of Pogues frontman Shane McGowan.

The conversation looks back on MacGowans English upbringing and his identity as an Irishman, discussing how his accent developed from when he was cockney teenager to his now evident Irish twang. 

The guys also discuss the current state of MacGowans health and attitude after interviewing a producer of Shanes' documentary, Siobhán McAndrew. The documentary that was also produced by julien Temple and Johnny Depp is called Crock Of Gold - A few rounds with Shane MacGowan.  

You can listen to the interview with Siobhán in the bonus Material available on the MIM channel.

Ian also talks about his band Pele touring with the Pogues and his experience of the man, and his aura around the venues they played.

There's no doubt that everyone who has contributed to this episode has huge respect for the man, poet and musician. But Shane is most certainly a complex man.
