Pogues 'historical' sites in London

[mats]

There´s a book called "THOSE TOURISTS ARE MONEY - THE ROCK N ROLL GUIDE TO CAMDEN" by Ann Scanlon (who also wrote the first Pogues biography about lots of interesting places around Camden Town. The Pogues and Shane are mentioned a lot and there should be several places to visit there. Been a while since I read it but worth getting if it´s still available.

Is that the book were she writes about Spider, Shane, Kirsty and Steve Earl doing a 24h drinking session in some pub or am I misstaken.

Almost correct, Shane did the 24h drinking session in a place called The Marathon (suitable name) Spider, Steve Earle and Cait went there during the St Patricks week in ´88.

See you in Gothenburg

Oh it's available alright - a steal at £160...

I recently got that book, actually (though it was on ebay for considerably less!). You could probably design an entire Pogues Pub Tour based on that book

Here´s a video I just found on Youtube with some of the places mentioned in Transmetropolitan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asmu_z3 ... dex=2&t=1s
