Our 4th album "False Lankum" is out now on Rough Trade Records. Listen/order here: lankum.ffm.to/...
We had the unbelievable honour of being invited to play at Shane MacGowan's 60th birthday celebration at the National Concert Hall in Dublin on the 15th of January.
This is the version of The Old Main Drag that we put together for the show.
Massive thanks to Sinéad Kennedy for use of the location, to the NCH Dublin for putting together such a mindblowing gig, and to Shane MacGowan for writing some of the best songs the world has ever heard.
Shot by Jamie Goldrick and David Knox.

Shane MacGowan's harrowing song of prostitution, desolation, and despair... but his accounting of it all has such stoic poise that it imbues the subject matter- bleak as it is- with dignity and grace. *This* is why I love trad...

@VoxGothica 2 года назад

Shane is a shockingly good songwriter, one of the best ever.

@gregorp7727 8 месяцев назад

@VoxGothica Not hyperbolic at all, his songs will be sung for generations, how many else can say that? Rest in peace Shane MacGowan, the greatest to ever do it

Nicely put indeed, that is the bonus of a tradition to hold onto yet to push on further

You can tell a song is a classic when they all have a crack at it. Lovely version. But, dear Shane, nothing compares to you.

@EricFoemmel Год назад

Such a haunting song. I work at a bus station in Las Vegas, and I see this on a daily basis. This song always plays in my mind as people OD, piss on the buses, shoot rival dealers, or when we save a teen from a shitty pimp.

At a seisún in the home of some of the Lankum members about 10 years ago, I sang this song, and they helped me remember some of the lyrics as I was a bit worse for the drink! Great version here, great to hear it!

the original is a work of art but Lankum's version is truly haunting. Some of us never do escape from the old main drag.

@Maurice Higney Let me just ask you - why on earth would you even want to slag something off? I mean, you come on RU-vid by choice; You watch this video by choice; So - and yeah, I'm fully aware that you're probably going to tell me to chill out and relax - even if this video were absolute shite, why would you have to leave your own negative opinion for everyone to see. I don't mean to have a go or sour your day, it's just that I see so much negativity, aggression and general feckery in comment sections ..all for no apparent constructive reason. The world needs more love. We all need more love. I'm writing this with love. Sending love 🌻

@jonatkinsonriver1 3 года назад

Completely misses the ending tone An otherwise awesome piece made pathetic

@fightinandirish 3 года назад

The last note isn't exactly missed, it is intentional as Radie plays it the same way live. I personally find it an interesting way to leave the piece unresolved, fitting considering the nature of the song.
