Özet

Punk protagonist, legendary drinker, Irish musical icon. The complete and extraordinary journey of the Pogues' notorious front man from outcast to national treasure has never been told - until now.

A Furious Devotion: The Life of Shane MacGowan vividly recounts the experiences that shaped the greatest songwriter of his generation: the formative trips to his mother's homestead in Tipperary, the explosion of punk that changed his life, and the drink and drugs that nearly ended it.

As well as exclusive interviews with Shane himself, author Richard Balls has secured contributions from his wife and family and people who have never spoken publicly about Shane before: close associates, former girlfriends, and the English teacher who first spotted his literary gift. Nick Cave, Aidan Gillen, Cillian Murphy, Christy Moore, Sinead O'Connor, and Dermot O'Leary are on the rollcall of those paying tribute to the gifted songwriter and poet.

An interesting book but the choice of narrator makes listening to this a chore.
The women’s voices (amongst all the others) are particularly dreadful…Shane’s sister and cousin (based in Tunbridge Wells) do not have Irish accents, or what passes for an Irish accent in this context. Every female is made to sound like a simpering idiot…which they most definitely are not!

Awful narration

good story about Shane , his upbringing, his irishness, and the time with the pouges, I would put him up with the likes of Dylan and van morrison.only gripe I have as an Irishman is why oh why did you need to try and take off the awful attempt at an Irish accent it was terrible.

a story about a flawed genius

The narration has so many mispronounced Irish names and place names that take away from the authenticity of Shane’s deeply felt Irish roots. Was there no research done by the narrator?

Great story marred by mispronunciation

Enjoyed the book but the narration was shockingly bad. I read the negative reviews before hand & genuinely thought it wouldn’t bother me but it was just pure lazy.

A sad, troubled, unglamorous life. A waste of talent

A very good book that tells the fierce tales of a true songwriting genius! However the narrator butchers a lot of the Irish dialect and language and there’s no need to imitate accents when narrating an audiobook. Overall a really enjoyable experience!

Great schtuff!!!
