CLASSIC 90S GROUP TO REFORM!

The Pogues look set to reform with their classic lineup of Spider Stacey, Jamie Clarke, Jem Finer, Darryl Hunt, Andrew Ranken, James McNally and David Coultcr for a gig at London’s O2 Arena this summer.

It is reported that the band will play their iconic album of the decade Pogue Mahone in full and that this will be their only gig of the year.

Although there has been no official announcement that the legendary Irish rockers will perform again 12 years after they disbanded, advertisements appeared in the national press today (January 8th) with top-price ticket and hotel packages on offer for £369.

A cheaper package from the Premier Entertainments company, including a night in a four-star hotel, is available for £269, reports This Is London.

Callers today were told: "It's just about to be officially announced."

Promoters subsequently told BBC 6 Music not to book tickets “just yet”, but did not deny the story.

A statement issued later by the promoter Harvey Goldsmith regarding the packages again warned fans not to buy from touts and claimed "there are NO packages or tickets for some the events advertised at all, nor do some of the events even exist", but again it stopped short of a full denial regarding the reformation.

I know who this is, but I ain't sayin' :wink:

It's got to be self promoting fool J. Clarke. I can't see Spider, Jem, Darryl or Andrew agreeing to that even if it was a viable proposition which, no offence intended, it isn't. Or it's an early and not very funny April Fools...

Hilariously though, the NME obviously don't know their arse from their elbow when it comes to the Pogues. Still, I suppose most of the writers weren't out of short trousers first time round.

Can't see the logic behind this one, so there for I can't really support it. If all goes well, than I wish them the best of luck, however, by the time The Pogues recorded Pogue Mahone (James, Philip, Terry, and especially Shane had left the band), it just wasn't the Pogues any more. I'm actually one of the few who prefer Waiting For Herb over Pogue Mahone.

ah, please!?
But.... Is it true? Or do I miss the joke in this one?

My that time the The Pogues weren't really The Pogues any more. The album was good but most of the Classic line up had left.

"Classic lineup" including Clark, McNally and Coulter?

First performance 12 years after the Pogues disbanded?

I think this report was sent from same alternate universe. And not a very charming one, I think.

It's the thread in this subforum called "Atlantic Unveils "P.S. I Love You"" about the 90s-era Pogues having a song on the soundtrack album.

Fire that siteadvisdor! He's a wanker.

I wonder if at least one of numerous commentators has seen this thing on nme.com with his own eyes.
But the joke didnt fail to evoke a storm of emotions and some guests didnt miss the great opportunity to call Jamie "fool".. Why?

Let's be accurate here. ONE anonymous guest called Jamie a "fool". Jamie's been called worse, I promise you. :wink:
