Buglet Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 The only time I ever saw Shane McGowan at a fest was years ago at a free thing in Leeds. (it must have been donkeys ago, Kirsty MacColl was onstage with 'em). He was so fukced that the band had to pick him up off the floor every few minutes. It should have been embarrasing, but the fella got the job done and you had the impression that he would of been on the deck wherever he happened to be. Mind you, there were some points when he was the only person there that didn't know the words! Hope they play, but doubt they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Badger Bites Back Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The Pouges on Friday night was most awesome!! As predicted you couldn't understand a word he was saying, but it did make it easier for a sing-a-long!!! Finished with Fiesta which was amazing!!! Roll on next year!!! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfathom5 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Saw them at V this year, and although he was completely screwed, it was great fun - really enjoyed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofharlem Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Saw them at Brixton Academy on Saturday night. They were great and I thought Shane held it together really well..amazing atmosphere..everyone dancing and singing along. They would go down really well at Glasto I think.

Sawdusty surfer Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 if any of you glastonbury band bookers are reading this please try to get the pogues to play. i last saw them at glastonbury in the mud in ,85 (along with ian dury and boomtown rats) i worry that if you do not book them this year it may be too late in the future to have the original line up. they do one of the most happy, uplifting singanddance along sets immaginable........please???

bertieb73 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 They played one of the best sets at V Festival last year so I'd love to see them at Glasto. Shane managed to perform the whole set with one arm in a sling and the other clutching a bottle of red wine so he's OK in my book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
