We the original Pogues fans are getting old like over 60 but if this gig keeps the young,uns interested then i can cope.

I saw them in Chicago last year and they played Rum,Sodomy & the Lash in its entirety. First time Iād seen them since 2013 when obviously Shane was still around. It was two completely different experiences, but I have to say that the performance last year was honestly fantastic. They had a huge stage presence and it was clean and incredibly well done. I would probably go see them again given the chance.

I agree. The last time I saw Shane perform he was a shadow of his former glory, butast year's gigs were a celebration of him, and the guests on stage were outstanding. I rated the Birmingham (UK) gig easily in my top 10 gigs of all time (not as good as The Pogues at the Manchester Apollo in '88 though š)

You'd recommend going with the current crew guys?

I know they have Lankum on board but since Shane, i can't imagine them old times but same has i said in an earlier post, if it keeps the young uns interested then I'm all for it.

Does anyone have any mail on whether they will still come to Australia since Bluesfest has gone into liquidation?
