The Men They Couldn't Hang's 1986 Concert History

The Men They Couldn't Hang (TMTCH) are a British rock band whose mixture of folk and punk is not dissimilar to that of The Pogues (in fact founder member Shanne Bradley was a member of Shane MacGowan's first band the Nipple Erectors), although they have not enjoyed the same commercial or critical success as MacGowan's group.
