I saw the Pogues play at the Finsbury Park Fleadh some years back. I think it may have been their first major gig since all getting back together. I remember that the late great Joe Strummer was also on the bill with his band (the Mascalero's?) earlier in the day and he played some Clash songs. I always wondered how it was that he never came on stage with the Pogues later that evening, which would have been great to see. Maybe it was just one of those things that just "did not happen", but it was a shame, particularly as Joe is no longer with us.
