The Medusa Fora

Now that the Pogues are an ongoing touring force to be reckoned with for the 21st Century, I was wondering if it was time to have a section on the site
that would list all the Pogues shows from 1982-present. Someone has tried to do this (the link is on the ring) but it appears to be very incomplete and/or incorrect. Maybe if the mods start the ball rolling the Medusans here can fill in the blanks.

You mean like a wiki or something?

Yeah, sure. There is some info out there (you have a link to the Pogues Gig Listing) and the PoguesLive (a site dedicated to recordings) but it would be nice
to have a more official, correct and up-to-date listing.

But "official" and "up-to-date" and "correct" are haaaaard and time consuming.

You mean you have a life besides this?? Wouldn't this be more fun then answering the upcoming questions about the US West Coast Tour, i.e. Is Shane
still with the Pogues?

In all seriousness, thanks for your efforts on this site. It is a great diversion and a favorite timesink in an otherwise hectic life.

Shocking, I know.

BUT OK. It seems there's now a thread dedicated to this very topic started by some dude in Boston. I nominate that dude to edit his original post with the beginnings of the information, and to work with the larger community to get updates and integrate them. Once Medusa has a better publishing system in place I'll happily propagate your work into the more "official" parts of the site. Deal?
