Shane MacGowan to host Paddy's Day at the Olympia

The original Irish rover, Shane MacGowan, returns home on March 17 for a Paddy's Day blowout in the Dublin Olympia.

Tickets for the Popes-assisted show are on sale now priced €28.50.

Meanwhile, Saturday January 17 saw Shane join Primal Scream on stage at the Glasgow Academy for a, er, unique rendition of 'Loaded'. In Glasgow for his own gig in the Royal Concert Hall, MacGowan returned during the second encore as the Primals kicked the shit out of Johnny Thunders' 'Born To Lose'.
