The Medusa Fora

Hello! I'm new to the forum here, but I'm a lifelong Pogues fan. I'm involved with the music scene in Beijing, and some of my friends run a music company here that is in charge of the "best" underground and real bands in China.
Apparently there will be no more Pogues shows added in cities that are not previously scheduled, but, we would still very much like to send an email with all of our information and the situation here on the ground in Beijing with regards to scheduling a show here while the Pogues are in the area (Japan and Australia). In a music scene where the Doors, Johnny Thunders, The Clash, etc. are the number one band for some people here in Beijing, the Pogues are number one for more people than any other band. When the Buzzcocks came last year and the New York Dolls in the past it was big, but in just thinking about having a Pogues show here in Beijing, people would not be able to control themselves.
Would someone be able to pass along the email address for the Pogues tour manager, or someone else I would be able to contact??
Thank you very much!!

P.S. Sorry for posting this message for a second time in the forum, but I wasn't sure where the best place to ask was.............

I'm pretty sure we'd love to play in China if the circumstances were favourable.

Awesome, thank you very much!! I really hope it does work out, and like you said, hopefully the circumstances will be favorable.

Thanks once again, and we'll be in touch.

I will just say that plans and travel arrangements for our Tokyo & Australia shows have been set in stone for weeks, maybe months, now, so it would seem unlikely that we could find a way to play in China this time. But hopefully, you can start a process that may bear fruit later. Good grief, am I starting to sound like Confucious or what?

Well, you could be sounding like much worse when it comes to China!

But yes, I definitely understand how the logistics of everything might not make it possible, but, there is always hope! If it is not possible this time though, like you said, hopefully the groundwork has been laid to bring the band to the land of Confucius at time in the not too distant future.
