**Hostilities emerged between the band and producer Elvis Costello, especially once he started dating bassist Cait O'Riordan.
**Cait O'Riordan drew a lot of flack from the rest of the band for her unreliability, especially after she skedaddled during a 1986 American tour, aided and abetted by Elvis Costello. She left the band for good soon after.
** And all of this was a mere precursor to the band's escalating issues with Shane [=McGowan=], whose drunkenness and unreliable attendance at gigs became such an issue that the band kicked him out in 1991.

**This also happened in reverse: the band, whose whole existence was inspired by the Dubliners, got to record a song and play live with them. Joe Strummer joining the Pogues was also a moment like this for many of the band, who had been fans of Music/TheClash.
