Did You Know? A Rainy Night In Soho was written by Shane MacGowan and originally recorded on their 1986EP Poguetry In Motion.
It's considered by many to be one of Shane MacGowan's finest songs and was shortlisted as one of Ireland's 10 most favourite folk songs.
The band originally recorded two versions, one featuring a cornet and one featuring an oboe. Pogues singer Shane MacGowan preferred the cornet version while producer Elvis Costello preferred the oboe versions. Ultimately the version used on the Ep was the cornet version.
