A Furious Devotion : The Life of Shane MacGowan by Richard Balls (Paperback) ✓ In Stock

Punk protagonist, legendary drinker, Irish musical icon.\r\n\r\nThe complete and extraordinary journey of the Pogues\u2019 notorious frontman from outcast to national treasure has never been told \u2013 until now. A Furious Devotion: The Life of Shane MacGowan vividly recounts the experiences that shaped the greatest songwriter of his generation: the formative trips to his mother\u2019s homestead in Tipperary, the explosion of punk which changed his life, and the drink and drugs that nearly ended it.\r\n\r\nAs well as exclusive interviews with Shane himself, author Richard Balls has secured contributions from his wife and family, and people who have never spoken publicly about Shane before: close associates, former girlfriends and the English teacher who first spotted his literary gift. Nick Cave, Aidan Gillen, Cillian Murphy, Christy Moore, Sinead O\u2019Connor and Dermot O\u2019Leary are on the rollcall of those paying tribute to the gifted songwriter and poet. This frank and extensive biography also includes many previously unseen personal photographs.

Judging Redmond & Carson; Alvin Jackson ✓ In Stock

Hardback Condition: As New John Redmond and Edward Carson remain two of the biggest names in modern Irish history. At the peak of their careers as senior members of the British parliament, they were locked together in combat over Home Rule. Divided by the union with Britain, they had surprisingly much in common. Contemporaries saw them together, and routinely judged them in comparative contexts. But with the partition of Ireland and independence, they have been disconnected, viewed wholly apart, and seen in political contexts scarcely imagined by people at the time. This new volume in the ‘Judging’ series is the first dual and comparative biography of Redmond and Carson - the first to assess them as contemporaries would have done. It uses both new approaches and much new evidence to shed fresh light on their sometimes fraught private lives, their professional and political achievements, and their stands on violence and war. The result is a strikingly original reassessment of the two men and their legacies.
