The Men They Couldn’t Hang, The Arches, Glasgow

There are times, I suppose, when one might actually want to be stuck in the middle of a football crowd, but this wasn’t one of them.

The Men They Couldn’t Hang are celebrating their 25th anniversary by releasing a new album, Devil on the Wind, and embarking on a UK tour. Their highly political songs blend folk with punk, very much in the style of the Pogues, with neither the tunes nor the personality.
