Rogue Mahone

The German band Rogue Mahone have been bringing Irish folk-punk to life for over 32 years, performing songs by The Pogues, The Popes, and Shane MacGowan, alongside their own originals and traditional tunes. Featuring mandolin, banjo, accordion, guitar, bass, and drums - often joined by brass and guest musicians - they’ve played festivals and pubs across northern Germany, supported acts such as The Rumjacks and The Mahones, and now return to Ireland with Irish singer Eamonn Mullarkey.

EAMONN is a vocalist from Sligo. He has been covering Shane's songs with a very similar voice for many years and has collaborated with many Musicians as recently SHARON SHANNON and STEVE EARL. He is also the Lead Vocalist of the Sligo Punk Band CHURCH HOUSE CREEPERS.

Members of ROGUE MAHONE met EAMONN, who also sang at Shane's funeral, by chance at the unveiling of Shane MacGowan's mural in Nenagh in October 2024. A few pints later, they played some Pogues tunes in Phil Ryan's Pub together, what matched perfectly as they share the same passion for this music (all to be seen on FB, INSTA and TIKTOK). So the idea was born and fired by public demand to do a little Ireland Tour in 2025 with Eamonn and play some Pogues-Tribute-Shows as a unique collaboration between a German band and an Irish singer, of course, also to honour Shane MacGowan and The Pogues.

Now they are returning to start the St. Patrick’s Week in Eamonn’s homebase, Sligo, at the legendary Hawk’s Well Theatre.
