anybody going to any of the pogues gigs in december? I'm going to the belfast on 2nd december. 4th time seeing the great man. went the first time in a mad rush to see him before he'd die, but he's still going strong...

Looking at that one in belfast in dec too. Never seen him, absolutely love his music, and have been in a panic this last few years wanting to get to see him before he dies...

Having trouble rounding up a crowd tho - cursing the fact its mid week $:-\$

When is he going to die?

he'll only be 52 on christmas day so not old at all really. still couldn't be far from death though! the man's an absolute genius and competely under rated outside of ireland. the shows are always great and it's sorta special seeing it near christmas obviously. two years ago sinead o'connor came out to sing fairytale of new york with them
