Flip Noorman Zingt Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) ^{The Pogues}

At the end of November 2023, the 'orphaned angel', 'the voice of mud and roses', 'the best songwriter of a generation': Shane MacGowan passed away. In the eighties he broke through with the infamous band The Pogues, who combined the rhythms of the Sex Pistols with Irish melodies that seemed to be centuries old. Like no other, he described with his poetic pen the Irish migrant life, drug use and raw love. But he was also known for his excessive and destructive lifestyle.

The song Fairytale of New York is still the most popular Christmas song in England and Ireland. The singer can count Nick Cave, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Sinnead O'Connor among his biggest fans. And Flip Noorman is also an admirer of MacGowan. And Flip has proven that he is a good admirer with his idiosyncratic tributes to Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.
