Having first seen the Pogues in Manchester even before their debut album was released ( Cloud 9 i believe ) and on numerous occasions since i feel very sad to see them roll up for their annual Christmas bash...yes the band are still fantastic but Shane is now a paraody of what he once was...a joke even...it does make awkward viewing to see this...why people can call him charismatic is beyond me...yes he was charismatic in his day..yes he was an amazing lyric writer...yes Fairytale is the greatest Christmas song ever...but that was then...now is now and the man has lost it and i certainly will not be seeing the Pogues again, which is a shame for the rest of the band as as proved earlier in their career they cannot be the Pogues without Shane.
It is an absolute travesty that on Friday at the Apollo was another Irish band who stormed it for nearly 2 and a half hours..had the place rocking, including a certain Peter Kay on stage with them yet there is no review of them...i came out of the Saw Doctors wanting next year to be here already...i came out of the Pogues just feeling a bit sad
