| 18 Jun 1986 The rest of the week took The Pogues to Margate, Nottingham, Glastonbury and Sheffield. This time, rather than reverting to the usual hired van, they travelled by coach; and Murray's extravagance even stretched to a specially drafted tour manager named Joey Cashman, a friend of Philip Chevron's who knew the rest of the band. 27 Jun 1986 After a day-off in New York, it was onward to New Haven. They were joined by Joey Cashman who, on his way to a month's holiday in Providence, caught the band at The Ritz and was subsequently asked to roadie instead. ?? Sep 1986 In the meantime, a European tour was lined up for November, but Darryl decided that although he might work with The Pogues in the future, he wanted to revert to playing himself. It was 14 months since he had formed The Troubleshooters with Dave Scott and James' close friend and former Dolly Mixture, Debsey, and they were all keen to record a single and do regular gigs. After telling Frank that he hall decided to leave, Darryl telephoned Joey Cashman and offered him his place. Joey took it. 15 Nov 1986 Early the next morning, The Pogues dragged themselves back to their coach and made for Zurich. After a bleary-brained pit-stop at a service station, they continued the journey southward. But, on reaching the Austrian border, it was discovered that although Joey's ubiquitous leather jacket was present, Cashman himself was not to be found. Joey - increasingly useful since he could already distinguish between a mandola and a mandolin - had been left in the service station with only a pair of jeans and a Sandinista sweatshirt to his name. There was nothing for it but to retrieve the wanderer. So, while The Pogues piled into a nearby restaurant, the coach backtracked to Munich. Three hours later, the driver returned without Joey, and another six hours passed before Cashman eventually turned up in a state-sponsored taxi; having spent the best part of the day in a Bavarian police station. 9 May 1987 Pogues started recording their new LP Among the other new songs was the tacky summer sound of 'Fiesta', jazzed up with a brass section of Joey Cashman |

| Cashman is Shane’s personal manager, and more: he’s a force of nature. In the next couple of hours, I learn more about Joey than I have discovered about my own friends over the course of years. He’s a motormouth Irishman. He’s witty, abrasive, confiding, cunning, ambitious, outrageous, critical, exhausting, unaccountably likeable, and quite unconcerned about what anyone else might think of him. |

| “Well, strangely enough, all the bits Joey likes, I hate,” he <Shane> says. Joey is his manager Joey Cashman. “But then, he’s a Cancer and I’m a Capricorn so we get on, but have massive differences of opinion about everything. Joey is a pessimist, I’m an optimist. Joey is cynical, I’m not. Joey is lonely and I am too. Joey is funny guy and so am I. So it’s bad and good.”
He and Joey are seldom seen apart. Joey shared a flat with us in London for a while. “Will you stay together untill you are old men?” I ask. – “No, I’ve got to get him a woman. Women love him but he can’t handle monogamy. He won’t commit. I had a lot of trouble with it meself, but now I see the beauty and the sense in it” – “A lot of men won’t commit,” I say. - “Yes, but Joey isn’t any man. He is a great man. He’s imaginative man. A man who understands things that most men don’t understand.” “Speaking of Joey, there has been a bit of trouble lately, with a petition” A group of people, including Shane’s parents, have signed a petition on the internet to get rid of Joey. “We didn’t have any troubles with it” he scoffs.”It went up on Friends Of Shane website. A few of the people who signed it were people I knew, people that I really like. But it was a gross slander. It’s just family feuding on the internet. That’s basically what it is. Thank God they’ve got the internet to act it out on or we would all be lying around riddled with bullets.” And dispite the fact that allegations are that serious amounts of money are unaccounted for, that’s as seriously as Shane’s prepared to take the situation. |
