theres a james cagney day. what an excellent idea, i'm a big fan.

just discovered shanes 'Christmas lullaby', love it! ok strains of 'Lucy' but way better, its up there with 'fairytale'. how come I havent heard it before!!! radio playlists hello???

i'm in Brixton, flights to Dublin cancelled, hear theres some gigs on at the Brixton Academy and am wondering whether to (to quote mr strummer) 'stay in bed when the pogues are in town....!'

Please Please come to the west coast. I saw the pogues in Seattle on their last west coast tour, and it was the best concert I've ever been too.

There was no originally scheduled Philly date a few years back but one was added later. It would make sense georaphically. Also the band is popular in town, but getting the right price at the right venue is probably proving difficult. Moreover, certain band members cannot endure a grueling tour schedule so hitting up every city with more than 100k residents is not likely. I don't minf driving to Baltimore for a night.......but I still don't get Detroit. What the fuck is up with that? Is Eminem gonna' open?

As a Michigander I was pleasantly surprised by Detroit as well, but really it has always been a musical hot bed. Should be a fantastic show!

On our early US tours, Detroit was always a regular stop.

I'll do a little internet research and see where in the D you played back in those days - I can imagine you guys in all sorts of cool venues!

What are the chances of dragging Ella over to the states for a FONY appearance, you know since it is the Parting Glass Tour and all? Have not heard this one live since Las Vegas 2006.

She made such an appearance in NY in '08. I'm hoping for a return visit.

Yes, I remember. Bummed she did not stick around for Boston.
