The Medusa Fora

I would hazzard a guess that this a "farewell" to the traditional Xmas tours that have taken place over the last few years and the title is of course a ploy to get as many people to attend as possible. Seems reasonable to me. Everyone has a living to make and no lies are being told. Its not as if Shanes turned up at the 02 in London at a press confrence shouting "This is it, this is it"

Folks, if you take a look at the home page of this website you will see a red poster that very clearly reads "The Pogues Farewell Christmas Tour". I am afraid the sad news is true. Gutted.

Yes but is it the farewell Christmas tour? Or the farewell tour?

Think Spider explains it quite well over on the Pogues My Space page. I really dont think you can add anything more to it.

Can somebody give me the link to Spiders comment on the mysspace Poguesside ?
