Shaney mac

[welllboy]

Not so long ago Macgowan was talking about retirement. Does anyone think he'll ever do a concert again? Will The shane gang ressurect

[Mike from Boston]

He's on the bill at the Phil Chevron Testimonial

[welllboy]

Aye, I'll be there too but something tells me we'll never see 90 mins of shane macgowan on stage again which is sad to be fair.

[Fr. McGreer]

Most people thought that in 1991.

Word is though, he's sold all the rights to his songs so has retired with a very healthy bank balance. But this is most probably just shite pub talk from around this way.

sad if true ,sad to think his last performance with the pogues was at the 02 and not brixton.

Thats awful if true Mcgreer. True his voice ain't what it was (in my opinion his voice got better after 91) but there ya go. Phil Cheveons testimonial may be his last gig who knows.off topic but I wonder will all the pogues make an appearance and maybe play out on thousands..we know shane and terry will be there. One thing for sure is its gonna be a strange gig to attend but I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Given that the band's last gig with Shane in 91 was actually in Japan, that's somehow appropriate.

Hope this is not true.

I wouldn't bet on it deisecelt - I know that Spider won't be there - in his own words, 'not from any lack of will' and I doubt that James will be able to make it either.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping Shane behaves himself if he shows up...

Peace & love,
