Striking black‑and‑white poster featuring Shane MacGowan, pictured in 1992 during a pivotal period in his career. The candid image shows MacGowan in an intimate pub or wine bar setting, complete with cigarette, drinks and leather jacket, capturing the raw, uncompromising character that made him one of the most distinctive figures in British and Irish music.

The image dates from the year after MacGowan left The Pogues, and shortly before the formation of Shane MacGowan and The Popes. Shane had already established himself as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation through classics such as Fairytale of New York, A Pair of Brown Eyes and Dirty Old Town. Images from this early 90s transitional period are particularly interesting to collectors, documenting the bridge between his celebrated Pogues years and the next chapter of his career.

This poster has been carefully removed from a 1990s Q Magazine poster supplement and is now rare & hard to find. It would look incredible framed.
