How tall are all The Dubliners? They are all shorter than this, I'm sure.

I've stood beside him on maybe three or four occasions and I would have said he's comfortably 6'1". He's aged badly and his posture is poor so he may look smaller now but in the mid 80s to early 90s he was certainly taller than 5'9.5".

He's definetley more than this , I always thought of him as being a good 6ft or 6'1" , as has already been mentioned he has horrendous posture.

Shane's never 5"9.5! I met him in a pub and he towered over me (5"10). I'd say he's at least 6"1...although his posture is rubbish so that may take away from it a lot.

Saw him in a Glasgow pub last year and was surprised how small he was. He looks smaller than 5ft 9.5 in. But his posture is really bad as he is usually very drunk.

1997 article described this guy: "Unlike most pop performers, MacGowan is an imposing six foot one"

I always thought he was 6' plus.
