Rob, Martie and the rest of interested!
I can say nothing regarding pre-sale. All I know for the moment is “tickets will be available on the night”. I assume its “first come – first served” system. But I am in a process of investigation and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I learn something new.
I can understand why the band wants to distance from the London after-show party. It’s getting promoted as “The Pogues Official”, let it be on organizers’ or promoters’ (or whoever’s idea it was to exploit band’s name) conscience. While in fact The Popes and cupla other bands are to play and Shane is supposed to take part, DJing or joining The Popes. That’s all.
I try and fail to get issues regarding Dublin after-show party. Yes, Shane was approached and kindly agreed to do the charity. It’s not something organized behind his back, he is aware of the event and always was eager to do it. Nobody ever mentioned The Pogues in connection with it as far as I know. The only connection is the charity at Eamonn Dorans takes place after The Pogues gig in RDS, dot.
Last year Spider DJed at Voodoo Lounge after The Pogues gig. Announcement of the party evoked reasonable fans’ interest and no statements or opposition from the rest of the band. Dunno why it should be other way this year.
Life is a lottery, always. Nobody can give away 100% guarantees about Shane’s presence or Shane’s “form”, even Shane himself. Shane used to DJ at BP Fallon’s Death Discos a lot but failed to appear at New York Death Disco St. Patrick’s party in 2006. Such is life and shite happens. We don’t push you into anything, we just inform about opportunities. You decide to give it a try or not.
And before making your decision regarding that particular party analyse:
- what is your main task of going there
- what do you risk besides those 10Euros (problems with getting home in early hours, duties of that night or next day, etc) and
- what will grieve you more – coming and not seeing Shane or not coming and missing him?
Think and decide. Whatever you will decide it will be your decision. Complaints like “I’d escaped from my wedding bed and Shane didn’t appear” sound stupid.
