Pogues appearing at surprise show Rowwen Hèze?

[Yoboer]

Rumour goes that the Pogues will appear september 24th at a special surprise show for Dutch band Rowwen Hèze, who celebrate their 25th anniversary...
Can anybody confirm?

I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am saying I'd be surprised. Shane is supposed to be performing the night before in Ireland:

The Pogues won't be able to all appear at the Concert for Kirsty in London on Oct 10, so I'd be surprised if they were going to all appear in the Netherlands two weeks earlier.

Of course that's the great thing about secrets. Anyone who knows would either remain silent, deny it, or list a bunch of reasons why it's impossible.

I, for one, will be watching Michael Gambon gives us his Krapp in Mr Beckett's play at the Duchess in London. I was hoping to scoot up to Kilburn afterwards to catch the second act of Tiny Kushner, but I suppose, at a pinch, I could instead hop on a helicopter and hightail it to Amsterdam. After all, it's not everday a Dutch band covers "Fiesta", is it? So, far from impossible, yes. Ok, send helicopters, guys. Eight of them.

Guy was pretty sure about it, it's about this concert. Organization has confirmed some names, but stipulates that there wil be several famous surprise acts.

Guy was pretty sure about it

Oh well, in that case it must be true. To whom, incidentally, is this concert a "surprise"?

[Yoboer]

To Rowwen Hèze, a dutch band. Band members are huge fans and they occasionally cover Pogues songs, and, imho, do that very well...
Example 1 / Example 2.

I think it will be more likely that Flaco Jimenez will appear than the Pogues and it is not even in Amsterdam by the way haha but a huge hall :p

They used to do quite a lot Pogues tracks.
At one time there was a rumour around here that the Pogues asked their accordeon player if he would play with them..??

I'm sure Jimmy Shand could turn out instead of Mr.Fearnley if he was'nt already dead!Maybe Phil Cunningham,John Kirkpatrick,or that Argentinian guy whose name escapes me.....
