Radio Nova's Marty Miller was among the guests at the launch of a major new tribute to Shane MacGowan, held at Whelan's in Dublin.
The event brought together a host of familiar faces from music and entertainment, including Shane's wife Victoria Mary Clarke, actor Robert Sheehan, Slane Castle's Alex Conningham and many more.
The launch celebrated 20th Century Paddy – The Songs Of Shane MacGowan, a new tribute album bringing together some of the biggest names in music to honour the late Pogues frontman.
Victoria Mary Clarke, in partnership with Rubyworks, has now confirmed the full artist lineup and tracklist ahead of the album's release on November 13.
Among the major names involved are U2, Bob Geldof, Bruce Springsteen, Kingfishr, Hozier, Glen Hansard, Lisa O'Neill, Amble, David Keenan, Jimmy Artache and Tom Creagh.
The collection also features contributions from Tom Waits, The Libertines, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and The Pogues.
Model Kate Moss is also part of the project, joining the tribute in honour of her longtime friendship with Shane.
The album builds on the success of two previously released tracks, with Bruce Springsteen covering A Rainy Night in Soho and Johnny Depp teaming up with Imelda May for Haunted.
Titled after a project Shane MacGowan himself had long envisioned, 20th Century Paddy aims to celebrate his influence on Irish music and the artists who continue to be inspired by his songwriting.
The collection also recognises the legacy of The Pogues, the band that helped bring Shane's distinctive songwriting and sound to audiences around the world.
20th Century Paddy – The Songs Of Shane MacGowan will be released on Friday, November 13.
