he IS Irish. His parents went to England and his Mom gave birth to him there. Lived in Ireland until he was something like 6, moved to England and moved back to Ireland when he was older. Tipperary. And further more, who the hell cares? His music is uh-maze-ing. The Pogues were never the same without him.

Chesto18 - what's your fuckin point you racist prick? can a person not have Irish heritage if they are born on foreign soil? The diaspora was a result od British imperialism,are we now also to be denied our heritage by the same wankers who starved our ancestors from their homeland?

@stupotty40 He's Irish by blood, at any rate, and given various interviews I've heard him give and stories I've heard about him, as well as the culture and heritage displayed in his music, that's clearly where he identifies with. He was soaked in Irish culture during him time there, evidently.



Met him in the jacks of a pub in town a good few years back, Asked him why he doesnt get his teeth done with his money, just looked at me and said some cunt will knock them out any way
