The Pogues discography

The Pogues are an English or Anglo-Irish Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in King's Cross, London in 1982,[1] as Pogue Mahone – the anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic póg mo thóin, meaning 'kiss my arse'.

[2] The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, recording several hit albums and singles.

[3] The Pogues re-formed in late 2001, and played regularly across the UK and Ireland and on the US East Coast, until dissolving again in 2014.

Following MacGowan's death in 2023, Stacy along with other surviving members Jem Finer and James Fearnley reformed the band and announced a tour of the UK and Ireland for 2025.

Their politically-tinged music is informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds,[4] yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, banjo, cittern, mandolin and accordion.
