I note their contract lists their original name, Pogue Mahone, which in Irish Gaelic means “kiss my arse.” They had to drop the second part because BBC stations wouldn’t play them. So their name became just The Pogues (The Kisses).

John Peel played their songs when they were Pogue Mahone, they even had a Peel Session under that name.
