The Medusa Fora

I am really looking forward to seeing the band live for the first time next week, but I am a bit worried about getting in. I'm only 17 and look a bit younger. Do people usually not get let in if they are underage? I'll be gutted if I don't get to see them.

I don't think you'll have a problem. I'm sure you won't get turned away. Have fun!

Where you seeing them, I checked with the apollo in Manchester - no minimum age

My mate went last year and he didn't have a problem, so I reckon I will be fine. Its at the O2 in Glasgow and it is definitely over 18. Its just strange that the age restriction is so high. Is there any reason?

Some venues on this tour operate to different bye-laws. OP needs to tell us which gig.

Its the O2 Academy in Glasgow. I had a look on their website and most other gigs dont have an age restriction.

Hmm. I'll ask. Check in here this time tomorrow.

Thanks

Well, they have a bar inside. What´s the age restriction to buy alcohol in the pubs?

Usually 18 in the UK, but some bars don't let in anyone under 21, it's up to the venue.

I've asked our tour manager Gerry. He doesn't have an immediate answer but will definitely get back to me. Stay tuned.

Soulfinger Jr has been accompanying me to Pogues gigs for the last 7 years. He was 11 when he started coming with me. He really couldn't've even remotely passed for 18 until last year. He's been to various venues in Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham and Dublin; and no doorman has ever given him a second glance... of course that could have been because he was accompanied by a responsible adult...but probably not.

Where is Ross?

Am I the only one who thought this was a porn thread from the title?

You, like me, were simply hopeful.
