The Medusa Fora

Now I know that sometimes MacGowan has appeared doing gigs at the Boogaloo with Yeti or Pete Doherty and so on, but of the official advertised gigs with the Popes that MacGowan did (in which he played a full set of his own material), was this actually the smallest most intimate gig he ever played during all of his Popes days and in actual fact probably the smallest since the early days of The Pogues?

Did anyone see him in a smaller venue?

would the irish rover pub in asotria, queens count?

the question didnt say he had to be with the popes

thank you niall, you are quite right. and no, it was with lancaster county prison

Ahh nice 1, so what was the capacity of the venue? I only thought that it mite not truly count as I thought he sort of 'featured' at their gig rather than playing a 'MacGowans Greatest Hits' style show but if im wrong then my apologese.

It was actually a pair of interrelated questions, cobber, but then again, who gives a toss, eh? It's cool.... still going to Manchester? Looking forward to a few pints with ye. PM me soon.

true fintan. i did pm you, did you not get it?

I was fortunate enough to be at that gig and even managed to wangle my way backstage and meet Shane and got a poster advertising the gig signed too. Trouble was the poster must have been freshly put up and the paste was still wet so when Shane signed it the pen went straight through it, this just adds a little extra personal value to an amazeing night
