Gig reviews

[usualdog]

The Pogues suffered worse than anyone from lazy, cliched journalism down the years and the gig reviews this time around are no different. Most were probably written before they went to the gig if they went at all. For any budding hacks out there, simply rearrange the words 'Irish' 'Drunk' 'Fairytale' 'Singalong' and 'Delirious' in any order and it's job done.

Hmm, I sometimes think that myself. All the same, the press mainly write about us in the Christmas Holiday season, a time when media and music parties are plentiful and drink flows like water. I have concluded they are just filing thinly disguised autobiographical reports.

Well said usual dog. The press cant seperate the words alchol and pogues. And another thing they always write is that the crowd gets mad during Irish rover,dirty old town,brown eyes. the Pogues/Shane+popes gigs i been to i think we are complete mad during all songs. This year i looking specially for the new songs in the setlist.

arriving in London 17 dec anyone knows a decent pub for a pogues fan in the heart of London area. I am staying at hotel Russel.

Cheers see you all there
