The Medusa Fora

Are many from this forum heading to MADSTOCK this friday?

My brother and I, together with my 11 year old son (who is extremely excited about seeing the Pogues for the first time ) are heading down from Leicestershire, all armed with gold circle tickets so hope to get a decent view of the show......

Stage times being published for the Pogues are 1915 - 2015

Cant wait!!!!!

Don't think I will, £40 is a lot for a one hour show. Yes Madness are good and I do like em, but put it this way if it was just them playing I wouldn't consider going either. I've got Celtic at the Wembley Tournament the following week to save for/look forward to

Sorry Mark, that's what I thought, a friend of mine, however, told me on facebook that the drummer in his band is playing in the support band and gave me the name I mentioned, of course there may be two support bands, who knows.

Amsterdam sound quite good; going to see a bit of them i reckon!

See you tonight!

I'll be there on Friday. Watch out for the giant bearded 40-something skinhead down the front wearing either 1) 2 Tone Polo shirt 2) Rum, Sodomy long sleeve or 3) Gray & White Columbia rain jacket (looking like the latter at the moment).

Well work is over (until tomorrow afternoon), I'm really looking forward to the gig now, didn't sleep very well last night either I was that excited. I feel like a kid going to see Santa Claus for the first time (and I've seen The Pogues countless times).

What am I looking forward to the most?
Philip playing with the band again.

Anyway, to anyone that is going, see you later (my photo is in the photo gallery on this site, please come and say 'Hello').

do you know what is not fun?

being thrown out of a pogues gig after the first song.

you know what's less fun? being thrown out before the first song. i admit i was too drunk to stand that night, but at least let me sit through it.

That has got to hurt. Sorry.
