Catching up with The Pogues!

Mark is joined by The Pogues' Spider Stacy and Jem Finer.

The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond.

This week, Mark is joined by Spider Stacy and Jem Finer from The Pogues.

They share memories of the late Shane MacGowan and the making of their 1985 classic, Rum Sodomy & The Lash. To mark the album's 40th anniversary, the band are touring with guest singers including Daragh Lynch, Nadine Shah and Lisa O'Neill.

London-Irish folk punks The Pogues formed in the early eighties and are loved for their unforgettable songs and visceral live performances, thanks in large part to the talent and attitude of the legendary Shane.

Plus the usual mix of new releases and news from the folk world.
