Mundy - 20th Century Paddy - The Songs Of Shane MacGowan, Victoria & The Songs That Shaped Him | The Mixtape Podcast

What was Shane MacGowan really like, and did he ever fully appreciate the enormous influence his songwriting had on other musicians?

Irish singer-songwriter Mundy joins The Mixtape to discuss his contribution to 20th Century Paddy – The Songs of Shane MacGowan, a remarkable tribute album featuring artists including Bruce Springsteen, U2, Nick Cave and Glen Hansard.

Mundy reveals how Shane's longtime partner Victoria Mary Clarke personally invited him to contribute, why he chose to record "Victoria", and how the track came together with musicians working remotely between Ireland and Melbourne.

He also shares personal memories of Shane, reflects on the genius behind his songwriting, and recalls a particularly memorable encounter between Shane and Paul Simon.

Then it's time for Mundy to build his own six-track Mixtape, revealing the songs and artists that have shaped his musical journey, from Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones to Big Thief, Van Morrison and Tom Waits.

A conversation about musical influences, unforgettable songwriting and the extraordinary legacy of one of Ireland's greatest songwriters.
