Oh flippin' 'eck! How am I going to wangle an Oz trip in April. Brilliant excuses needed.

Any Aussie venues/dates sorted yet? I shall alert two Pogues fans who live o'er there.

Europe?

Wow! This has made my night/week/month.

Byron Bluesfest, methinks ...

Hm, there is something writen of "The Rogues"

April and the end of march abroad, got to be a warm up in London on the cards, go on

Nice! Congratulations Down Under (hmm I realise this might not be completely kosher)!

Fantastic. Best news this year.

Please make this a proper Australian tour of headline shows not just a couple of festivals, and please include Perth

Too darn far, here's hoping for a London St Patrick's night gig.

You lucky, lucky Ozzie's, it's been a long time since they played over there (have they played there before? I have a feeling they did in about 1988 but could be wrong), you deserve a few gigs.

Queen Elizabeth II to visit Australia

Surprised she isn't waiting until April to visit

Mr C the Dubliners are playing in Brum on Paddys day, bit of a dilemma , dont want to book it if you're in the UK/eire , any chance of a strong hint

saw the band in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney in Jan '88 whilst travelling around Oz, about the time of the countries Bi-cetennary celebrations, unless my memories failing i'm sure Joe Strummer was filling in for Mr Chevron who was on sick leave, highlight for me was Shane sharing his bottle of Thunderbirds with me in the mosh, great days !
