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.

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???
