The Pogues je britská skupina hrající směs tradiční irské hudby a punku. Skupina byla založena v Londýně v roce 1982 Shanem MacGowanem, Spiderem Stacym a Jemem Finerem původně pod názvem Pogue Mahone – anglicizovanou podobou irské fráze póg mo thóin („polib mi prdel“).
Kompilace The BBC Sessions 1984–1986 na CD vyšla v roce 2020 a obsahuje 23 nahrávek pořízených v londýnských studiích BBC během živých vystoupení pro pořady Johna Peela, Davida Jensena, Phila Kennedyho a Janice Long. Oproti vinylové verzi vydané u příležitosti Record Store Day je CD verze o sedm skladeb bohatší. Mezi zvýrazněnými skladbami jsou Streams of Whiskey, A Pair of Brown Eyes, Dirty Old Town či If I Should Fall From Grace With God.
V době vydání alba tvořili sestavu Jem Finer (banjo, kytara, mandola), Spider Stacy (zpěv, tin whistle), Andrew Ranken (perkuse, harmonika), Darryl Hunt (baskytara) a David Coulter (housle, mandolína, perkuse).
