Yeti Perform With Pogues Frontman Shane MacGowan

Yeti were the centre of attention last week as they played an impromptu gig with Shane MacGowan.

Apparently Gerry O’Boyle, the owner of Yeti’s adopted pub, The Boogaloo Bar is a good friend of the Pogues frontman as well as Yeti and the rest of the ex-Libertines. It was he that brought together this unlikely combination of John Hassall and co and the Irish singer.

So last week, while Yeti were playing at the Boogaloo, John Hassall called MacGowan on stage and they performed a cracking version of ‘The Israelites’.

The members of Yeti all live in the area and it was in the Boogaloo Bar that they actually met and formed their band.

Sounds like quite a place.
