Unravelling Shane MacGowan eBike Tour of Lough Derg Area

The best of tours, Influences, life & times of Shane McGowan told by his Friends&Community with rural Ireland insights.

Even if you're not a Shane McGowan fan this is a FANTASTIC, unique insight into the Irish rural life of his family, friends & himself from 1820-2023. It is also an enlightening insight specifically into Shane himself, told by his Community & friends from Carney & its environs in Co. Tipperary, covering where & how he was influenced to create such beautiful lyrics & rousing memorable music. All those we encountered on the tour were interesting, informed & delightful who spoke honestly & caringly about Shane. A wonderfully packed 4hours of getting to know a talented artist in his homeplace by those who knew him. Be sure to leave some time to visit the excellent Nenagh County Council Town Hall for information on other famous Co. Tipp folk also, its where the tour starts & ends. A huge thank you to Mike, Joe, Eleanor, Andy & Rosemary, definitey THE most engaged, interesting & informative friends & tour guides I've experienced. Can't praise this tour more highly for so many different reasons.
