The Medusa Fora

Hi Philup,

I dont be on site to often but im known to sit up in to the wee hours reading posts and looking up pogues related stuff on you tube.I know this has been answered before but i have a question for you please . Will the documentary from 2005 ever surface ?? just because i think the cameras were at the xmas gig in the point that year ? and i know they were deffo in new york at the two Nokia gigs i went over too . I think it was the sunday nite that i would class as prob the best pogues gig i have been at . I was talkin to Spider and his wife at the RDS at xmas and Louise said she tought they were magic too.
I would love to see it and think its a shame there not being released for sale.
Ive wanted to write this post so many times but havnt . But I have now and would love to know .
Thanks for your help and hope to see you this year back on the road with the lads

Unfortunately, because of a disagreement between the director and the producer, the "business model" of the proposed film changed and this led, in turn, to a blip in financing from which the movie never recovered. In the meantime, I think the band and our managers just lost confidence in the project. It's a shame really, because I think it would have been a good film. I don't think there is much prospect of resurrecting the project at this point, though all the film still exists.

The Nokia cameras, by the way, were for a separate no nonsense "in concert" DVD which, I am led to believe, will be released sometime this year.

Hi Philup,

Thanks for your speedy reply , As i have previously said I only be on time to time . I appricate you letting me know as im always wondering what the exact story was with the documentary . In reply I would say that there would be a massive market for it , As over the last few years i've noticed a whole new fan base at the gigs like a real mixed audiance both young, old, punks, bogmen, and different nationailtys so i think it would have wide appeal. But look ,you never know stranger things have happened The Dubliners resurected a documentary that was filmed i think over 25yrs? ago this year and was showed at a film festival .
But im really lookin forward to the " No noncense in concert" and cant wait for it to be released , what really sticks out in mind is on the Sunday night was Shane doing this wee dance around the stage that I havn't seen before? And also the whole band really enjoying themself's . Them gigs were Magic.

Chat soon

Would that be his "White City" dance? I love that one as well.

oi bet that 2005. doicumentary would rock.. soirry to hear oits not coimoin` out.. but oif theres moivoies kept, theres stoill soime chance oin the future, yeah?
anyway, that "oin coincert" sounds proimoisoin' too!

Is there a way to put material out that is somewhat less than par for the band, but well within standard for die hard fans? Surely, people understand the difference 20 years makes...and besides, if you show some footage of th crowd, people will get it.

But its well understood that if you didn't get good audio, Philip, y'all aren't going to want it out there as an example of the current standard.
