Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan was introduced at KVIFF by Hollywood star Johnny Depp, who produced the documentary and also appears in it, and director Julien Temple, one of the world’s leading music film makers. In an interview, Temple explains how ex-Sinn Fein chief Gerry Adams also ended up in the film about the one-time Pogues frontman, and discusses whether MacGowan could have produced more great work if he had curtailed his prodigious drinking.
