From Director Julien Temple, (who also brought us The Filth and the Fury about the Sex Pistols), comes the new film Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan. MacGowan is the head of the band The Pogues; a punk band well known for combining traditional Irish music with punk rock. Temple dives into the history of the singer, his origins and where things went wrong. Crock of Gold is produced by Julien Temple, Johnny Depp, Stephen Deuters and Stephen Malit.
Here’s the official synopsis:
CROCK OF GOLD – A FEW ROUNDS WITH SHANE MACGOWAN deep dives into the life of the tortured Irish vocalist, best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the Pogues, who famously combined traditional Irish music with the visceral energy of punk rock. Featuring unseen archival footage from the band and MacGowan’s family, as well as animation from legendary illustrator Ralph Steadman, Julien Temple’s rollicking love letter spotlights the iconic frontman up to his 60th birthday celebration, where singers, movie stars and rock ’n’ roll outlaws gather to celebrate the man and his legacy.
