Kirsty MacColl was run down and killed by a power boat whilst suba diving with her sons in a restricted area at Cozumel, Mexico on the 18.12.2000, one of her songs that gets airplay is "In These Shoes?" another track to listen for is "Don't Come The Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim", If my memory serves me correctly she also recorded with The Cheiftains. Billy Bragg has released a couple of albums with Wilco that are all Woody Guthrie songs (Mermaid Ave Vol. I & II ). An extension of The Pogues was Shaun McGowan with the Popes.
Luka Bloom, a whole nother story.
To much time and too many CD's.

When asked what The Pogues music was about Shaun Mc Gowan once said,
Fightin' Flowerin' and Drinkin', my son meet him in New York a few years ago and reported that it seemed that his life's quest was a want to drink himself to death.
