I know of two locally, The Rogues (from Dundalk area) and The Boys From The County Hell (from the Drogheda area) both are bloody brilliant. Not sure if either have a website.

The Brogues - A six-piece Pogues tribute band based in Aberdeen, Scotland. http://www.thebrogues.net/

The Dead Rabbits - An eight-piece Pogues tribute band from Peterborough, UK. http://www.thedeadrabbits.com/

County Hell - A six-piece Pogues tribute band from Tallahassee, Florida. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageart ... dID=226710

They take old Pogues songs. Writes their own Swedish lyrics and sings it.. Dont now if to love or hate it

There is an link to them and many else at http://www.shanemacgowan.com/tributes.shtml

i was once told there is (or was) an all girl pogues tribute band called "streams of whisky" from tipperaray area.

I was once in a pub in brighton where a 5 piece band were playing.a set which pretty much entirely consisted of pogues covers. their versions were ok, but theitr name was really something special.

LIVERDANCE.

LIVERDANCE Brilliant.

with that name...they simple can't be bad!

Seen The Bhoys From The County Hell last night here in Drogheda, decent band. I thought the Rogues were better when I seen them though.

Next Wednesday we're starting to practise in one of the best music studios here.Our first plan is to have some gig in spring toime...and in toime we could become the greatest Oirish punk rock band in southeastern Europe We'll be tribute for Shane MacGowan(mainly the stuff hes done with Popes but also stuff of Pogues,traditionals...)Oi've invested lots of efforts in creating this band and me hopes are very high!
