  • Shane MacGowan and The Popes is a band formerly led by Shane MacGowan of the Pogues, who play a blend of rock, and Irish folk, sometimes referred to as Paddy Beat, borrowing from World Beat, a popular genre name in the 1980s. Shane MacGowan and the Popes released two studio and one live album in the 1990s. As well as serving as MacGowan's backing band, The Popes recorded one studio and one live album without MacGowan, and have toured on their own. The band's line up has changed through the years. Members have included Paul 'Mad Dog' McGuinness, Tom McManamon, Andy Ireland, and Bob Dowling. Past members have included Mick O'Connell, Kieran "Mo" O' Hagan (Acoustic guitar, vocals), John Myers, Danny Heatley (aka Danny Pope) (drums), Berni "The Undertaker" France (bass), Colm O'Maonlai (whistle), and Kieran Kiely (accordion, whistle). Long-time friend of McGowan, Johnny Depp joined to promote the single, 'That Woman's Got Me Drinking' in October 1994. Depp played guitar on the track, directed and appeared in the video, and made a string of appearances with Shane. In March 2007, several former members appeared as The Popes at a memorial concert for Tom McManamon. Meanwhile, Guitarist McGuinness had already announced a new line up with a new album in the works. The "new" Popes are Paul McGuinness on guitar and vocals, Will Morrison on drums, Charlie Hoskyns on guitar, Fiachra Shanks on banjo, mandolin, Laurie Norwood on bass, and Ben Gunnery on fiddle. This line-up has recorded a new album called 'Outlaw Heaven' that was mixed by Chris Brown (Radiohead, etc). The album was released in May 2009. In May 2007, the remaining members of the old band announced that they were reforming, calling themselves The Electric Popes. These include: Bob Dowling on bass, Andy Ireland on drums, Brian Kelly on mandolin and Denis Dowling. As of yet, The Electric Popes are unheard of.
  • The Popes ist eine Musikgruppe um den Bandleader Shane MacGowan. Sie wurde nach der Auflösung von The Pogues gegründet, konnte aber deren Popularität nie erreichen.
  • I Shane MacGowan and the Popes (poi semplicemente The Popes) sono una band irlandese nata intorno alla figura di Shane MacGowan, ex leader dei Pogues. Suonano rock e folk tradizionale irlandese, miscelati con attitudine punk.
  • The Popes är Shane MacGowans band, The Popes spelar även själv utan Shane.
