Irish Musicians

The Pogues

An Irish and English politically aware rock band formed in 1982, the Pogues have focused on creating traditional Irish music with punk rock and folk influences.  Over the years, the band has been fronted by Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacey, and the late Joe Sturmmer.  The Pogues are known for using traditional Irish instruments, including the accordion, mandolin, cittern, and tin whistle.
