Programme?

[mcguck]

Have the Pogues ever had a proper concert programme? I've always thought a well done programme was preferable to a T-shirt that would eventually fade. From looking at the box set and the remasters there are obviously lots of terrific historical pictures both on and off stage, and compiling a good selection of them in a programme with perhaps a brief history (someone like Philip or Carol Clerk could write it) would make a nice concert souvenir.

We did one in 1988 and, I think 1990 in the UK. There was also a bootleg one in 1988, I think. I'm never sure about the economics of them, and if they're worth the time and trouble, but in any event, every year we run out of time. Another issue is we've expended so much archive stuff on the box set and reissues and, for all the fervent promises to the contrary, this stuff never gets returned to you.

Surely you mean Pogueramme?
