Mark Radcliffe Becomes Shane MacGowan

[alsybob79]

Is it Lards animal sanctuary????????

[MyFavouriteDre55]

You know what you wanna do with that, right?

You wanna put a bangin' donk on it.

[grahamlive]

MUST GET SOME OIL FOR THAT DOOR!!!

[shawndimery]

Never heard of him

[Neilo73]

Have recently picked up a 2nd hand copy of Radcliffes book Thank you For The Days and in it he mentioned this episode in his life. Had to check it out for real. Great stuff!!!

[trurouni]

And he won, nice to see this again, was a laugh the first time and still is.

[zep66]

Like the west country twang!

[DanDecay666]

Sounds more like Spider Stacey than anything else.

[pdwcave]

Just read the chapter "The Day I Was On Stars In Their Eyes" from Mark's Thank You For The Days autobiography so I had to look this up. (Cracking read by the way)

[rowanwooster]

Love Marc Radcliffe - the sort of chap you'd want to be stuck in a pub with

[angus1878]

ha ha

as mark says in his book

a bloke youve never heard of

doing a bloke youve never heard of

[rogsliv]

the guy on the fiddle looks like frank skinner ha

[MissAlabaster]

Loved reading about this in Mark's book 'Thank You For The Days' and, given that Mark has met and interviewed Shane a couple of times and quite hit it off, I'm sure Shane would find this hilarious. Big fan of Radcliffe, what a lovely bloke.

[oogie11]

@MissAlabaster Yeah, I was reading his book, which is a very good read, and I read that he was Shane MacGowan on Stars In Their Eyes, and I thought, 'This I have to see.' and he doesa brill impression :)

[blogtvpunk]

the audio is shit here...:-(

[firestartertwistedfi]

mark describes this as the 'highlight of his career'

[tpm111]

Shane actually said he loved it...

[BoxingMadLad]

hahaha that was fucking pathetic....SHANES A FUCKING LEGEND THOUGH

up the RA!

[McAteerPaul]

First class job Mark... so it is.. :-)

Shane probably saw this & pished his togs laughing like the rest of us!

[tonyw951]

if its not, i wonder if she will let me borrow it when shes not using it heh heh.

[bucek1]

Legend. Used to love Mark & Lard, and the Shirehorses. Radcliffe & Marconie is good tho.

[JacktheladEngland]

ssshhhcccchhhhhhhhh fuck the yanks and drink their wives hahahahaha

[Wowbagger86]

...chicken ;)

[Wowbagger86]

If he really wanted to look authenthic he should have knocked his foretheeth out ;)

[gculloty87]

Hilarious but great performance. Nice of ITV to show some good entertainment for once and a while.Happy Birthday for today Mark and have a good one!

[dawson668]

[poolpig]

To hell with your American comment!!!!!!!

[Sewin2]

[sundaeg1rl]

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

The most exciting saturday nite telly ive seen in about 10 years

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

Fucking hell i hate cat deely

Shane Mac=Legend

[dawson668]

nancy whiskey=deluded slut

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

How mature of you :)

[vernonbear]

Obviously went straight over your head. Spend a little time listening to old Radio one stuff by mark and lard and you'll soon understand.

[dykwimtmno504]

i thought it was decent, it sounds like someone singing in a bar

[orkneyfellow]

possibly far too nourished, on food rather than drink, to really be "the man". i like Mark Radcliffe though, and he does an honest and respectful tribute.

[dropkicksocialdfan]

its pretty hard to sing like shane with a full mouth of teeth, great job!

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

Haha :)

[gerrysterre]

i really loved it!!

[mattymahone]

he sounds nothin like shane.

At least he picked somebody worthwhile to try n be!

[alanisbad]

Read Radcliffes book "Entertainment Diary of a Rock and Roll Nobody" Hilarious

[Thebull140]

Is it just me or does Mark make a very subtle change of lyrics.

The original has a line that goes "And a man from Westmeath called Malone" and i'm sure that in this version he sings "And a man from Westmeath called Mahone"

Sounds like a shameless plug to me Mark!!!!

Seriously though if you can check out The Family Mahone, awesome live performance and a great laugh. Just don't drive.

[dykwimtmno504]

haha, in irish, that would roughly be "a man from westmeath called ass"

[Baltizori]

Gosh, you don't make fun of or laugh at Shane MacGowan...

[billydai]

he's not drunk enough to be shane

[drusillababe]

like to see any of y'all go and try it... god its only meant to be for laughs for god sake get a life.

[conrad1on]

Do you have the results? I know he won, but I wouldn't mind seeing his reaction.

[pogueish]

shane macgowan was not born in england you silly man

[Ratsonaoose]

Actually..he was born in england.Kent to be exact when his prents were visiting friends around xmas.

[ddn1985]

tunbridge wells to be precise

[MrsFish7]

....'Set the controls for..wherever you are' ...orrghh yeshh.....Mark Radcliffe is a big hero of mine, though he looks more like Dennis Pennis in this clip....

[paddy54321]

phronsias, shane was actually born in tunbridge wells, so hes london irish. thats why he concentrates a lot of his songs about the irish in london.

[ihavenosenseofglory]

eerm no.

this is shit.

shane is the one and only =]

[targetcxd]

BLASPHEMOUS!!

[BrianBhoy2]

Is it just me or does his impression of shane macgowan look more like joe pesquale???

[vancitycanary]

Radcliffe's radio shows are awesome! :) Really funny and great music.

[conorbannon95]

THIS MARK CAN'T FUCKING SING

[HugoF]

this guy looks more like rod stewart :S

[IrishNickO]

There is only one Shane MacGowan

[eoinderis]

Sacrilege

[Flagss]

too sober to be shane

[baldieman4]

He sounds like Les Dawson on a bender!

[webstercat1971]

You don't have to bellow!!!!

[techwondo]

Mushn't grrrrumble

[unkle73]

I was havin' a drrriink then!

[tjmacjee]

@webstercat1971 Stop.... Carry On!

[therealDC]

mark radliffe is a legend.

[dylansharmonica]

agreed!!!

[sendmeyourcrap]

....could you back off the mike a bit please!!!!

[kylergoehle]

fockin pathetic this blogue is lucky shane doesnt have a computer

[harryshand]

Not as embarrasing as I thought it would be!

[Wowbagger86]

He screams to much... Shane has a more mumbling voice...

[JackFingTwist]

Agreed. But the gait is dead on.

[DougieTheTurtle]

Oh dear... he sounds nothing like good old Shane. What's the game?

[XSEAWITCH]

great to see it, as I missed it on TV. Thanks.

[Galwaystan]

Sorry man but I've never heard of Family Mahone...been living in The States 10 yrs so i must have missed out.

[Galwaystan]

I just hope Shane didn't have to watch that rubbish..terrible attempt at an Irish accent which Shane doesn't even have..sounded nothing like the Man.

[techwondo]

There speaks somneone who has never seen The Family Mahone... and so has never seen Radcliffe "loosened up"

[blindstan]

Yeah but that first bit isn't sung by Shane, it's sung by the lead singer of the Dubliners, who is irish. He doesn't do too bad really.

[Poguette]

Thanks so much for posting this. I had heard about it but was unable to see it, because I am in the U.S.A. Thsnks very much I really appreciate it.

[swaneman]

whose the blond?

[Pneumothorax]

Fabulous! Thanks for posting it!

[JimboJones100]

thanks.

[techwondo]

Just trying to keep the dream alive...

[peacefrog1916]
