The band played London pubs and clubs, [24] and released a single, " Dark Streets of London", [25] on their own, self-named label, gaining a small reputation – especially for their live performances, and national airplay on BBC Radio 1. They came to the attention of the media and Stiff Records when they opened for The Clash on their 1984 tour.

The music of The Pogues always had more of a quantity over quality aesthetic to it, so one would almost think that thematically, the cheap stuff would be the bottle to bear The Pogues name. But I digress—onto the whiskey itself, which is a 50/50 blend of single malt and grain whiskies. In 1982, James Fearnley ( accordion), who had been a guitarist with The Nips, joined MacGowan, Stacy, and Finer, forming the band, then known as Pogue Mahone.
