The O2 Arena gig was also the gig at which it was revealed that I am Fr McGreer's father. Which was something of a surprise. Though not quite a Darth Vader moment.

Sorry, Father, erm, son.

Hmm, that's a tad confusing, isn't it? :wink:

A Christmas 2016 show would have been good. If they don't do another we've all got the memories, good, bad or indifferent they were all experiances :-) Keeping my fingers crossed anyway.

Well I spent much of last night reminiscing about Pogues Christmas gigs past, and wishing there was one to be looking forward to now...
