Dead dead dead chuffed!

[Julieexeter]

Brilliant, Friday and Saturday at Brixton with football on the Saturday afternoon. Would love to go back to Dublin too but will have to see how the money goes!

[Niall]

manchester on a sunday night should be good, and at the apollo.

I had an awful dream the other night that there were going to be no Saturday gigs, but thankfully it hasn't come true. I can see I'm going to be spoilt for choice. Which of the Saturday gigs shall I go to this year?

I'm tempted by Dublin, I saw the Dubliners at the Olympia theatre in the early ninties, Sheffield I've never been too, and I've always liked the Brixton Academy, hmmm decisions, decisions.

Sheffield was spot on last year.

Unemployed as I am, I can't afford any more concerts this year. Which is a teeth on tinfoil shame.

Funny story: I was at Reading festival, as a last blow up before settling into a monk-like spartan cash free existence but then I had a drug-induced breakdown and had to leave on the Friday.

Well, it's not that funny a story. Guess you had to be there.

Hi.

Great concert in Drammen, Norway last month !! Had the pleasure of sitting down with Shane, Spider ++ in the hotelbar after the concert. Thank you !

Philip - It was a great show in Drammen. Do you prefer to play in clubs like Union Scene ?

Looking forward to Dublin in desember. What's the capacity in Olympia Theater ??

[mctoon]

Just booked hotel for sheffield,,, nee messing around here

[Fr. McGreer]

What is the Olympia like, has anyone been ?
I went to the point a few years back, great gig shit venue, , love to do Dublin Brum and Brixton but can't afford it and i know Brixton will be awesome, it is always is, at least when the sound desk remains dry it is

Hi Rum,

I've been to countless gigs at the Olympia and it's gonna be electric. It's a mini version of the Brixton Academy, old theatre with sloping ground floor standing and unreserved seating up stairs. I think it may be the smallest venue on the tour.

After the shite years at the Point Depot (great band, terrible venue) we deserve this I'm supprised though that the band have anounced 3 nights, i thought they would put two on sale with the option of the sunday if demand is there.

I'll probably do friday standing, saturday sitting (with some friends and relatives) and see how i feel on sunday....not getting any younger

I'd love to get to Glasgow and Brixton also.....

Heather,

Come on over to our place,
Hey yeah!
We're having a party,
We'll be singing, dancing and swinging,
Won't ya come on over tonight?

And we won't miss each other like Belfast a few years back

Is glasgow sold out? On ticketmaster it says "Find Tickets" option, but alas no tickets. All other dates go on sale tomorrow. I've missed Pogues the last 2 years!

What a huge laugh that just roared out ! You sitting down? Pah ! I will NOT believe it.

[Aslak]

Great news! I think I'll go to Dublin instead of London this year.. Will have to see who else going first, but damn.. Three Pogues gigs in a row in Dublin!

[Pinder]

Brixton tickets and Birmingham tickets on presale for O2 customers, or anyone who knows the direct link.

Theres nothing on ticketmaster about the Dublin gigs yet - anyone know when these go on sale?

I reckon itll sell out pretty quick since they normally sell out venues 8x times the size of it in Dublin so i wanna make sure i get in there quick...
