You think so? They are experts on management and promotion without any doubts but hardly have something to do with these particular gigs..

If Shane did a gig it would be called "Shane MacGowan with ...". Now it's "Sharon Shannon with ...". Shane is very special, but a guest, alongside other great acts. And as a guest he is to do from 4 up to 6 songs. If everything goes according to plan.

Don't all stampede at once.

Don't underrate spell of Shane and €40 tix. It will keep everyone in his seat

With Shane, does it ever? Spontenaity seems to be the order of the day with him.

Do I mean Friends of Shane? Perhaps I mean Paddy Rolling Stone. I get easily confused. Noel Kenny often knows these things...........

I typed the above while I was pissed. Just in case there is any confusion, Mundy sang Galway Girl, not Shane.

Dark Side of the Street or Sunny Side of the Street???? Although I know there is a song called Dark Side of Sreet????

Sorry about that. It was Van Morrison's "Dark side of the road". I'm not a Van expert, I think that's what the song is called

Think its called the Bright Side of the road?? Or maybe he did another one. Was it a good gig??

You're probably right..

I'd put it in my top 10 gigs ever. Even if Shane didn't show it would still have been worth the entrance fee.

There's two there for you, MacCrua

It just occurred to me that The Pogues would do a magnificent version of dan penns Dark End Of The Street.

Sorry to hijack the thread there!

Didn't know Shane was a Bulmers man
