Guest wrote:I read an article which said that after Paddy Reilly left the Dubliners, the Dubs asked Shane to replace him, as they felt MacGowan's voice had suited their music in previous collaborations. After a few rehearsals, the lads were ready to go but MacGowan insisted on the band being dubbed 'Shane MacGowan and The Dubliners.' The Dubs were apparently rather annoyed by this but played a few low key gigs around Dublin. However, MacGowan then insisted the band be called 'The Shane MacGowan Group' and Barney McKenna was so annoyed he refused to take part and so the band never played with MacGowan again. A couple of people I know claim to have seen some of the low key gigs around Dublin, anyone else hear anything about this?





Its false. I know for sure.

I'm kinda bummed that the moderators of that forum have locked the thread. It had got down to name-calling, but where else will we get updates on this?

What?! Another forum run by nazi censorshoipers and bastard managerial twats? This IS shocking..

"Darren Carroll, the publican that had advertised a show with The Pogues' Shane MacGowan performing with The Dubliners which subsequently was canceled du to 'unforeseen circumstances,' has fled Aberdeen in a daring escape. Donning a jet-powered backback he surprised onlookers when he took to the skies. 'I plan to randomly advertise acts in Glasgow next!' he could be heard shouting as he whisked himself away."


A sad outcome of an abortive re-launch gig - a just re-opened pub is shut down, its owner is charged with an alleged fraud..

Yeah, will it teach them to think harder before making ass of others reputation..

They're arguing now about the fact that using a smilie :lol: gives you diplomatic imunity from anything you say. Must try that.

Wow!

This keeps getting better and better.

http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/ot ... post728584

It seems (from unverified forum posts) that the pub has now gone out of business. This saga has long since stopped being about Shane & the Dubliners and become something altogether more exciting ...

Wuz a good read for sure. I can't decide if "Biz" was an orchestrator or just really, really naive.

I hear that Shane and The Dubliners are playing Fitzpatricks Irish Bar in Aberdeen on 7th March - is this true?
Aberdonian Pogues fan

And that’s where the legs of the question grew from.
This is like reading intercepted underhand talks. I was following the thriller for days and finally caught meself starting to share worries – “will he make it or not” :lol:
It’s hilarious, and the author of this fraud has a business streak and an imagination…


That was the funniest ever. I read all 9 pages and couldn't wait as it got to the night of the gig. Poor old BIZ :oops:

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply. It would be my pleasure to send you a copy of the recording. We're currently in the midst of a 21-date European tour, and will be flying home at the end fo March. I will send the CD immediately upon my return.

Hire any bunch of passer-bys and persuade them to insist they are from Dublin. Anybody from Dublin is a Dubliner... ;)

"YESS! we can! " :lol:

DzM wrote:Yeah, everyone seems very shocked that Shane was a no-show, yet nobody seems all that put out about the Dubliners' no-show.

so it's even easier as soon as nobody gives a flying fuck about that bunch :)

Is anybody looking for Shane and The Dubliners? Any spot on the earth in.. let's say.. two days? (I have plans for tomorrow, sorry guys)

:lol: I didnt look into flight schedule but.. Woudnt it be a great temptation to stuff Shane into a plane to Aberdeen instead of a plane to Florida? :lol:
"Your faith, guys, made it happen.."

Just do not know what to do with The Dubliners..

Re: Shane MacGowan and The Dubliners?

Post by DzM Sun Mar 08, 2009 10:48 pm

Ahh. That's all kinds of awesome. The power of faith is an amazing thing.

"A pub owner says he's going to be here."
"But the Pogues are playing in Florida that night. That's documented all over the place."
"Well I know a guy who's best makes with a guy that totally works with Shane, and he says it's happening."
"Well ... But the Pogues are going to be in Florida that night. Maybe they're playing without Shane?"
"This is TOTALLY happening."
"I heard that Shane is skipping the first show of the US tour so that he can do this show in the bar."
"Maybe he's going to do this show, then fly from Aberdeen to Miami, and do that show? It could happen."
