Shane MacGowan 50th Birthday Party

The day started with me shooting the stills on a video shoot in the East End of London. It was all very civilized and well organized and for a change really nice people all round. I then headed to North London to the now legendary Boogaloo. There was to be a party for my mate Shane MacGowan. He will be 50 on Christmas Day. As the Pogues are now on the road, this was the only real chance for Shane to have loads of friends in one place for a party. There was quite a turn out. The Arctic Monkeys, The Horrors, Madness, Tim Burgess, Kevin Rowland (Dexy's Midnight Runners) The Pogues, BP Fallon and a few others as well. Kate Moss was supposed to be there as well, but, she missed her flight back from New York. So, that was a shame as she and Shane are good friends. So, thanks to Gerry O'Boyle it was another great night at the Boogaloo...
