Well its a bit earlyI know but Ihave a tradition of going to see the pogues before christmas as tbey usually tour before the holiday .So I'm there tonight in Manchester UK Last year was a great show at the O2 In London which I really enjoyed
As a lot of people know they are equally known for their chaotic drinking Shane MacGowan particularly. It's truely amazing that he is still with us.Another member Philip Chevron sadly passed away this summer of cancer of the osophiegas. In his words an acknowledged Alcoholic
Sadly many of us with this disease never even start recovery
Its usually a raucous show but Shane takes a breaks during the show these days Of course the finale is an amazing rendition of the best christmas song ever "fairytale of New York" I'll be thinking of Chris (whoose to say)an inspirational Lady from New York and great friend to many on this site when that plays. can't believe nearly a year RIP my dear friend.
