Philip Chevron was formerly in the Irish punk band The Radiators from Space. I saw them support Thin Lizzy in the Capitol December 1977. I'd say my favourite Pogues song was actually written by him - Thousands Are Sailing - but it's a tough choice, they had so many classics. I only saw them with Shane once, and once with Joe Strummer on vocals. It's a huge shame he has died but he really was in an awful state over recent years. I can't see how he could have had any quality of life.
