The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God
As I'm sure you've all heard by now, the notorious and likeable frontman from the Pogues Shane McGowan died during the week. Although he was born in London, he very much classed himself as Irish and would regularly visit Ireland and Tipperary in particular where his people came from. No doubt @blanchy another Tipp native has some tales to share about nights out with Shane.
I wrote this post when I heard the sad news and some of his most classic hits are included in it https://hive.blog/hive-193816/@ablaze/rip-shane-mcgowan-a-genius-lyricist
So I won't repeat those here, although I would recommend popping over to have a listen to some of those too if you have the chance.
Judging by the dancing crowd here, The Pogues put on quite the show, although I never did see them myself.
The Pogues - And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Not one that Shane wrote himself, but a famous Australian tune, which I think you'll enjoy. It's one of the best anti-war songs out there and I think that The Pogues do a great version of it, one of the best, if not THE BEST in my opinion.
I'll give ye two options, the first is the album version and the second is the live version.
The Pogues and The Dubliners - The Irish Rover
I'll leave you with this one, where two famous Irish bands come together with the Pogues and the Dubliners giving it everything singing a classic Irish song. Ronny Drew and Shane McGowan do a serious job of delivering the lyrics here, but what I especially love is the musicianship of both bands which reminds me of music sessions in Galway pubs like Taaffes, the Crane, Tigh Cóilí and others that often attract Galway's best traditional Irish music players.
If you ever get across to Galway then be sure to visit these pubs, where you'll be guaranteed Craic, top notch Guinness and traditional Irish music (most nights)
Rest Easy Shane.

Three Tune Tuesday
That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 132nd week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Weekly, I try to find four to six hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music.
