Let's write the ultimate x-mas '05 setlist

[Celtic.Dave]

is 27 the limit of songs??

[Alex]

There's only limited time (~2h). If the Pogues would play those fast and short punk songs with less than 2 minutes (for some reasons they don't ), they could surely do more songs in an evening.

is 27 the limit of songs??

1. Streams Of Whiskey
2. If I Should Fall From Grace With God

Anyone else have a pop at it?

[Guest]

First of all, the songs you choose, should be songs the Pogues would actually be willing to play (not like "Sit Down By The Fire",

This may be the wrong thread for this, but i didnt know anything about this. Could someone fill me in on what the band have got against this song, which i quite like.

[Eric V]

I'd be happy with all of the above, but how can this be a x-mas list without FONY??????? Bunson Burner person?
