So saddened to hear about Shane’s passing today. His storytelling enriched our worlds no end as did the nights we spent with him. As an artist he was untouchable and will always be with us. Our hearts go out to all who knew him x

I was too drunk to stand in the Albion Rooms and @petedoherty made me write a riff to the verse chords, he recorded it on his Nokia 3310 as the answerphone message so’s we were able to remember it the next day and finish the song.

Horror Show. Still too much of a horror to play, this one sometimes. Fucking fast. We filmed an amazingly bad video in the 90’s of this in St Pancras Graveyard and an abandoned mental hospital in Dalston with Pete’s then girlfriend. It looked like a student re-make of Nosferatu.

Tell The King... This one starts with a creepy Jarvis Cocker impersonation, “Got a little secret for ya” which wasn’t meant to be left in. You can’t get more fairy tales and romance than this with an acerbic nod to the tabloids of the time.

The Ha Ha Wall. One of our favourite numbers. The origin of this song is, like most of these, muddled, and refers to a wall in Liverpool, which Pete’s cousin said was called the Ha Ha wall.
