It's about time somebody wrote a book about the Pogues, the seminal Irish rock band filled with punk flare and unmatched poetry. How fortunate are fans and readers that the book is not only a first-hand account by one of the band's longest-serving members, accordionist James Fearnley, but that Fearnley is also a fine writer who has a gift for narrative structure and phrasing. A comprehensive account by a musical historian or a poetic summary by whomever else would both have been lacking in one aspect or the other. With Fearnley, we are taken head first through the journey of an immeasurably influential band and group of songwriters, and at the same time are made to witness the troubling descent of the most adored among them. This is the book we have been waiting for. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The Pogues injected the fury of punk into Irish folk music and gave the world the troubled, iconic, darkly romantic songwriter Shane MacGowan. Here Comes Everybody is a memoir written by founding member and accordion player James Fearnley, drawn from his personal experiences and the series of journals and correspondence he kept throughout the band's career. Fearnley describes the coalescence of a disparate collection of vagabonds living in the squats of London's Kings Cross, with, at its center, the charismatic MacGowan and his idea of turning Irish traditional music on its head. With beauty, lyricism, and great candor, Fearnley tells the story of how the band watched helplessly as their singer descended into a dark and isolated world of drugs and alcohol, and sets forth the increasingly desperate measures they were forced to take.
