Founded in 1982 as "Pogue Mahone" in Kings Cross, London they changed their name to The Pogues in 1984. An Anglo-Irish punk band that drew huge influence from the likes of The Clash and The Sex Pistols, but their sound was unique and distinctive, whilst also drawing from the band’s Irish heritage. They carved out their own niche that would become known as folk-punk or Celtic-punk and at the time of recording these sessions, relatively early in the band’s careers, they had started to find international success with a number of hit albums and singles. This success continued to grow through the 80’s into the early 90’s with infamous frontman Shane MacGowan being lorded as one of the truly great songwriters. In 1991 MacGowan left the band but The Pogues continued for a short time first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals but they eventually disbanded in 1996. They reformed again in 2001 with MacGowan back at the helm playing all over the world but they did not record any new material.
