Irish Folk in Bonn
Fans celebrate despite Pogues "indisposed" MacGowan
The Pogues are more or less as the uncrowned kings of the Irish folk-punk, the music from the green island far made known beyond its borders. In Bonn, the eight-man troupe came together on a totally deranged Shane MacGowan - and was celebrated after a slow start.
Pogues fans are apparently long-suffering contemporaries, despite their sometimes harsh look and the beer haze that surrounds some Irish as a lover Folks. This became clear on Thursday evening at the Museum Square who accepted as the more than 4,000 visitors a half-hour delay in the appearance of the famous Irish folk-rock troupe almost without murmur.
The reason for the later start was quickly apparent when the eight musicians of the Pogues came on the scene: swaying and wiggling singer Shane MacGowan crept to his microphone stand, to which he clung cramped. Or held on to him about the stand? His greeting of the audience was lost in a hard to understand mumble. As it seemed, was the half hour, until they have to make MacGowan "appears ready" "; disillusioned so you had to find that the Pogues figurehead has not, despite some elderly, contrary to media reports, the curve really got to sobriety.
How fast were there but analogies to Don Quixote, the tragic hero of Miguel de Cervantes was in front of a framed by musicians with mandolin, tin whistle, accordion, banjo and other instruments, not the knight, but the "singer of the very very sad shape. "The one who let the alcohol, from drugs to all, equally unsuccessful fights, like Quixote with the windmills. Fortunately, the texts of the often so inimitably good MacGowan Pogues songs are so passed into flesh and blood that were not even recognize the song skips.
Mood improves mood in the audience of musicians
Evil grin and making strange happenings, such as colleagues showed MacGowan Spider Stacy and Phil Chevron very good game and drew the temper indisposed man with the mike. During the concert, but MacGowan supporters were increasingly better mood, the audience was always more of their infectious sounds infected, so the mood seemed to spill over the stage.
Delighted by the charm of the songs rather than from the main actor, whose voice their former charisma has almost lost entirely sung, the fans, the great and poetic Pogues hits like "Dirty Old Town," "The Sick Bed of Cúchulainn" or "Sally MacLennane "text line by line safely. They were celebrating the songs of the earlier music stars, where it is due, ultimately, that of Irish folk music in general has such a high value even beyond the Green Island.
