Spider Stacy Biography

Spider Stacy is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on December 14, 1958 in United Kingdom.

Stacy has appeared in several movies and television productions over his career, including the Alex Cox films Straight to Hell (1986) and Walker (1986), as well as Eat the Rich (1987). Most recently, he appeared as “Slim Jim” Lynch in two seasons of the HBO series Treme. The series, which is set in New Orleans, was co-created by The Wire creator David Simon. Several Pogues songs had been featured on The Wire, and Stacy was introduced to both Simon and The Wire/Treme writer and novelist George Pelecanos backstage after a Pogues performance in D.C. Stacy’s friendship with Pelecanos later led to a 2009 performance featuring him and The Pogues at The Boogaloo, a London pub. Pelecanos read excerpts from his new novel, The Way Home, followed by The Pogues’ first pub performance since 1983.

Stacy co-founded The Pogues, along with Shane MacGowan, Jem Finer, and James Fearnley, and appeared on all of their recordings. He is credited with suggesting the band’s original name, Pogue Mahone (the actual Irish spelling being ‘póg mo thóin’), which is Irish for “kiss my arse.” The band’s original intent was for MacGowan and Stacy to share vocal duties, but decided to leave them to Shane after the first performance, with Stacy opting to learn the tin whistle. Stacy still frequently contributed backing vocals and occasional lead vocals throughout his long tenure with the band. In addition, he is known for sometimes banging a pub tray against his head for percussive effect. After Shane MacGowan was fired from The Pogues in 1991, Joe Strummer filled in for him for a short period after which Stacy assumed the role of lead vocalist. The Pogues recorded two albums with Stacy on lead vocals: Waiting for Herb, and Pogue Mahone. Stacy resumed his original role in the band since they began performing reunion shows in 2001.
