Not exactly. It's The Trouble Pilgrims and the information for the Horslips Xmas Party [Olympia Theatre, Dublin, December 14 and 15)will be revised thus:

THE TROUBLE PILGRIMS

The Trouble Pilgrims are the current members of The Radiators from Space - Steve Rapid, Pete Holidai, Johnny Bonnie and Paddy Goodwin, without vocalist/guitarist Philip Chevron, named for the Radiators' third album, the acclaimed Trouble Pilgrim, released in 2006. Philip, a founder member of the band in 1976, has continuing health problems concerning his voice which have sidelined him as one of the band's principal singers.

It is anticipated that both The Radiators and The Trouble Pilgrims will co-exist side by side, with Philip making major contributions to Rads recording and writing projects. He is not expected to play a significant part in The Trouble Pilgrims though he is believed to have become the inaugural member of their Fan Club. The Trouble Pilgrims feature material from all of the Radiators from Space albums as well as songs from Pete Holidai's solo album The Devil's Guitar in their live set.

Chevron has also ceased singing with The Pogues and in his featured spot - his own "Thousands Are Sailing" - on their upcoming (November 19) DVD/CD/Blu-Ray/Vinyl set The Pogues in Paris, the song has reverted to Shane MacGowan, who first performed it on the 1988 If I Should Fall From Grace With God album. Phil continues as The Pogues' guitarist and the band have announced a London 02 Arena show on December 20.

I don't think the colossus of beat that is Johnny Bonnie will mind me quoting some of his email to me from yesterday:

Hi Philip

Went really well last night, big crowd, good sound..........Barry Devlin was there, so was Jim Lockhart, Bp Fallon and Anne Doyle the RTE newsreader - must be a fan or it's just her local - and Billy Magra. Pete looked great, you might see the pics on facebook, Buddy Holidai was his name for the night. We had been rehearsing once a week in Paddys place [new bassist Paddy Goodwin] on the run up to it which was handy. Bitzy from The Lee Harveys joined us onstage for the last two numbers and the place rocked. It was nice to do the gig for people who [had been] going to the Academy and this was a thanks for that. Our American and Japanese friends had a great time, it was nice to meet them.

Here's the set list

6.10 SPECIAL
HEAVEN
SECOND AVE
MILLION DOLLAR HERO
WHO ARE THE STRANGERS

Get well Mr C! Best wishes.

The Radiators have regretfully had to postpone their comeback show at the Academy, Dublin, on September 8th. The band, who recently released their acclaimed fourth studio album Sound City Beat, a tribute to the Irish rock scene in the 1960s, had been due to give their first show in over five years.

Their long absence from the live scene is explained by vocalist/guitarist Philip Chevron's prolonged treatment for and recovery from soft-palette cancer. Although given a clean bill of health earlier this year, Phil recently developed unexpected complications in the throat area which, it is believed, may be a consequence of intense exposure to radiotherapy during his treatment. Though no official diagnosis will be made until further tests have taken place, it is thought to be unlikely that the cancer has returned.

The Radiators will reschedule the show as soon as is feasible though for obvious reasons no date has yet been set. Ticketholders for the Academy concert should seek refunds from their original point of sale.

Upcoming concerts by Chevron's other band The Pogues in Cologne, Berlin, Hamburg, Budapest, Paris, Colmar and Somerset are unaffected, though it is considered unlikely that the guitarist will sing in these shows.

The Radiators from Space's Sound City Beat is available from Tower Records, Freebird and other good record shops and online outlets,

Very sorry to hear this, Mr C. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Get better soon, Philip. All the best.

Take care of yourself, Philip.
