Also, if you like The Pogiues you might like The Men They Couldn't Hang, who sound a bit like an English version of them. The only album I know at all well is Silvertown, which has a great song referencing a Turner painting and the engineering works of Brunel, called Rain, Steam and Speed (the video/song takes about 20 seconds to get started, so don't whack up your volume too high. Also, the visuals are a bit low-budget literal-minded).
