Good thing I looked!
I suspected there might be a thread
about Cait O'Riordan.

This year, 2021, I saw an O'Riordan tweet that
she is fourteen years sober.

For a glimpse back at the beginning of her recovery, here is
a link to Cait O'Riordan interview, 30 March 2008.

At last year's report:
Spider Stacey, who still frequents London
but has become partial to New Orleans,
had a little project going called "Poguetry"
which had a few performances before
the coronavirus pandemic shut things down.

And he asked Cait O'Riordan to join the "Poguetry" performances
and had nothing but good things to say about
her contribution to the project.   

Spider has Shane McGowan's blessing to
perform McGowan's songs himself with backing from
the Lost Bayou Ramblers, with Cait on bass and vocals.

I'll see if I can link to Instagram here.
