The Medusa Fora

"Pete Doherty is donning his flat cap to perform the Mary Poppins tune Chim Chiminey at the South Bank Centre as part of a starry tribute to the Disney Songbook.

Doherty, the scruffy urchin with the million pound record contract and supermodel girlfriend, will join drinking pal Shane Macgowan and Meltdown festival curator Jarvis Cocker to pay tribute to classic Disney songs as part of the South Bank's annual music jamboree.

Nick Cave, Baaba Maal, Ralph Steadman and Bryan Ferry will also perform. "

Forest Of No Return - Hal Willner presents the Vintage Disney Songbook. Royal Festival Hall, 0871 663 2500, Sunday 17 June, 7.30pm.

You may chance it...

I can walk to this centre from my house


tenner says Shane won't show!

If i were tenner i'd fall on edge...

So what Disney song would Shane cover? I'd love to hear him do The Bare Necessities from the Jungle Book.

Second choice being probably Let's Get Down To Business from Mulan. If only because it might chase Jackie Chan's version out of me head.

Maybe something by the little mermaid (if they finish that bloody tail in time)

im a bit annoyed.. usualdog already has his tickets!! keen bastard

If all the Pogues had agreed to take part, they could have gone for Snow White and Seven Dwarves. (Drawing straws who would be the Snow White, to make it fair.) Being it just Shane and Pete, they could try Beauty and the Beast. Shane being the Beauty and then quickly putting the mermaid tail on...

Hush! It's supposed to be a surprise!!

And giving Spider a suitably starring role in "Whistle While You Work"...

Just realised Iggy and the Stooges are playing and can't afford both. D'oh!!

you'd choose iggy over shane.

beauty and the beast with kate moss singin?

Even Shane would rather see Iggy and The Stooges rather than himself, if he turns up, singing one number. If that makes sense. Anyway I'll be there to see him so its irrelevant, you coming?

London Pogues fans this is your chance to see Shane in the newly re-opened Festival Hall and with a week to go the place is half-empty. Pisspoor.

You could head to Glastonbury for Iggy.

Yeah I'm there.
