"I think the Pogues are defunct now but 'TMTCH' are still out there and front man Swill, although very quiet in the interview, is also producing cutting edge folk as a solo artist."

I think you're wrong there John, The Pogues are still performing just without the toothless wonder Shanne McGowan. The Men They Couldn't Hang are indeed still out there and recently headlined the 'alternative stage' at The Rhthym Festival in Bedford (Jerry Lee Lewis headlined the Main stage and Seth Lakeman also played). TMTCH vocalist Swill has just released a new album on Irregular Records and is reviewed in this months FROOTS magazine.
