What are the chances of any NEW pogues material

[Mick Molloy]

More than about newly recorded music I wondered about why some of the "new" stuff from the boxed set did not find it's way into the live shows. NW3 and "The Travelling People" would have been the obvious choice, imho.

Both titles were certainly at the top of a shortlist a few months ago. Getting the singer into the same time-space continuum as the rest of the band for anything resembling a rehearsal continues to be a hazardous, many would say fruitless, task, which is not to say the singer is not full of good intentions.

Wasn't that the same problem with Kitty a few years back? I went mad when I first heard it then

I would love to hear them. What about those laminated ( word? ) papers with they lyrics on it he used in 2008? He should be able to remember the melody, shouldn't he. I mean, he made at least two songs out of NW3.

Certain members of the band refuse, understandably, to go on stage with laminated sheets of paper. The issue is not so much Shane remembering the songs as Shane rehearsing the songs. With the band. He has always rather quixotically taken the view that "everybody" knows these songs backwards, but i think we'd all quite like to play them forwards instead.

As always, Philip, I continue to be thankful for your honest, insightful and often hilarious responses, even to questions that I'm sure you're sick of answering!
