THE passing of music legend Shane MacGowan was announced today. He was 65 years of age.
The lead singer with The Pogues was a great influence on many Harlow musicians,
So as a tribute may we take you back to 1991 when the Pogues played Harlow Town Park.
The only decent thing to ever happen in Harlow. Rest in peace you beautiful romantic poet ❤️
RIP Shane McGowan hard to believe Harlow once had a thriving music scene , Thin Lizzy and Hawkwind also played the Town Park in years gone by also , and the now defunct Square was also a magnet for touring bands .
I was a Harlow Council youth trainee working backstage and I think the rider cost nearly as much as the band! I think it may have been their penultimate gig? Highlight of my life meeting them. Support from the epic Tender Trap !
Thats a bit harsh neale!!
