Not too ramble on but I was gutted and very dissapointed by some so called Pogues Fans calling for Shane when the Radiators where playing. You where just right when you said "You can call his name all you want, he won't come on any quicker" I think the same thing happened infact when Joe was lead singer of the Pogues and he had to put up with it during a whole gig!
Finally, I was just woundering if the Radiators where playing in Belfast sometime soon?
Anyway all the best for the New Year Mr C, Hope to see ya soon!!!
Above all, it was that very fact - the sudden memory of little squirts shouting "Shaneo! Shaneo!" throughout Joe Strummer's performances with The Pogues, that upset and disorientated me most that night. I had almost forgotten, and the recall suddenly seemed painful and still raw. I loved Joe Strummer and felt he deserved better. I realise that then, as now, this is just a small minority of a Pogues audience, but their squeaky voices tend to be disproportionately loud. It came as a huge and welcome surprise to me later that people
genuinely dug the Radiators at the Point and, for their sake, I wish I had been able to overcome the heckling more dismissively. Thanks for your support. No gigs lined up at the moment.
