| WHO IS JOEY CASHMAN |
 |
NEWS & GOSSIP |
| A
musician, an actor, a manager... As well as Shane's friend, nurse, body guard, sparring partner, voice, both hands and fuck knows who else... "Joey Cashman had first picked up a saxophone in 1978 and started playing in a series of bands in his native Dublin: Fast Skirts, The Mod-L's and DC9 who achieved relative fame as Tokyo Olympics. Joey later got involved in film, working on a series of videos and building up his own portfolio. On arriving back from The Pogues US tour Joey found work as a sound assistant on Alex Cox's Straight To Hell, and was biding his time for future film work when he was offered Darryl's position with The Pogues." from Ann Scanlon's The Lost Decade, 1988 |
January 2010 This month it's two different items from quite distant past. One is a Fast Skirt photo. Another is an article (or even an interview that makes it even more rare and thus valuable) about rather unpleasant incident. But there were tons of them during a long long career of Shane's personal assitant . Enjoy! December 2009 December updates include a photo, traditionally, this time it’s a post-gig pic by Skrapparkar. And links to a great but almost unknown documentary that finally can be watched online. Produced and Directed by Brendan J. Byrne “How far Home” was broadcast on Channel 4 on Thursday 18th September 1997 as part of the Films of Fire season. This affecting film is a profile of Gerry Conlon, the man accused of Guilford pub bombings in 1974 and imprisoned, who was released from prison in 1989 and the first of the Guildford Four to walk free after wrongful conviction. Did that nightmare really end the day he walked 'free'? And why did the film make onto this site? Learn more! November 2009 So new updates.. And it’s pics, pics, pics as always. A bunch of pictures taken during last year Irish tour of Sharon Shannon and her Big Band was added to 2008 Photos (and quite in time, eh? When all progressive humankind is getting ready for another - Saints & Scoundrels - Tour 2009). And two uber-arty pics taken by DzM at the recent Pogues gigs found their cozy place on 2009 Photos page. Thank you, DzM, very much! August 2009 Fresh supplies: a video (in action with Shane, Sharon & Co, performing Dirty Old Town at World Fleadh, Castlebar, 1st Aug, 2009) and a pic (taken by Noel after the gig in Castlebar) go to Videos and 2009 Photos respectively. May 2009 Someone's success (and my lucky finding). Signed photo of Tokyo Olympics. Actually a backsleeve of Tokyo Olympics' Radio LP,1982. It's on irishrock.org site, so just a link. And check the site to learn everything about Irish Punk and New Wave. Yeah, once Tokyo Olympics used to blow roofs off .. March 2009 A new pic - kindly supplied by Dice (aka John Schwolow), taken at the Pogues show March 15, 2008, at the Roseland Ballroom in New York January 2009 Two videos added: accompanying Shane at Henry Rollins Show, 19 Oct 2006 A great shot by Ray Doherty. Onstage with the same bunch - Sharon Shannon, Shane MacGowan, Mundy..West County Hotel, Ennis, Co. Clare, 2 Jan, 2009 Ray did a great job shooting at the gig. More pics at his myspace gallery. And at 2009 Photos here. And mini review by dublinrambler: "Great craic in Wexford on New Years night... Seemed like a full house, or very nearly a full house. The crowd was really rowdy, in a good way... Shane came on and get a great job, but this time for me the true highlight was Joey Cashmans dance moves while playing that whistle of his... Priceless. " December 2008 "All thumbs"- an after-show photocall. Master photographer - Noel Kenny. Donegal, 28 Dec, 2008. (Sharon Shannon + guests post-Christmas Irish tour). JJ Horns' testimony: "Shane has extra help in the form of Joey, friend and PA who ensures timely depatures from hotels, hotel bars, and venues, though on at least one occasion it's been Shane who's helped Joey stumble out of a venue and back to the hotel." -- The Pogues' Dec 2008 tour. "The Irish Rover" live in Virginia, Co. Cavan, 25 Oct, 2008. Self appointed cameramen should be more appreciative of whistlers and leave singers alone.. A unique but shitty footage. November 2008 Better late than never: Just Look Them Straight In The Eye and Say... POGUE MAHONE .... Box Set sleeve photo (circa 1988 I believe, with Philip Chevron). October 2008 An old - from The Petition period - Hot Press article has been added just for the sake of my archives completeness. And for fun of course. August 2008 Sad occasion - 19th August, 2008, Greystones, Wicklow. at Ronnie Drew's funeral Generous Noel Kenny kindly keeps enriching my archives: The World Fleadh, Potlaoise, 1Aug, 2008. Link 1 With a cap With Scruffy With whistle With Shane & Vicky Mary From Dungloe Festival, 31st July, 2008 Shane should be more careful with his two fingers photo by Eoin McGarvey. July 2008 Again with the same bunch - Sharon Shannon, Shane MacGowan, Mundy..: one , two , three -- WOMAD, 25 Jul, 2008. All pics by Wallingford bloke of flickr.com May 2008 Bits of History: Jamie Clarke of Jamie Clarke's Perfect, ex-Pogues qutarist and roadie, shares his recollections about the Pogues and the manager January 2008 More photos: Onstage (with Sharon Shannon, Shane MacGowan, Mundy, Dessie O’Halloran..): one, two -- The Grill, Letterkenny, 28 Dec, 2007. Both pics by Colin Gillen. Colin is a real Artist and his b&w gigs photos are something special.
