The Pogues, Phil Chevron just announced that despite previous facebook posting on the official Pogues facebook page, The Pogues will be staying home this coming St. Patrick's day.
"I've just been informed we've been unable to find a suitable venue in London for St Patrick's Day. We did actually have Hammersmith Apollo on hold but so too did another act and unfortunately they were quicker to the draw than we were and snapped it up just before we did. Sorry that I raised false hopes, I'm quite pissed off about it myself.
Just to circumvent the "why not the Dog and Sausages in Hackney?" questions, none of the alternative venues we pursued this week made sense either economically or in terms of crowd safety. "

Seems the boneheads at the House of Blues in Boston have oversold the show on the 21st - if you were one of the purchasers of tickets through the presale HOB are offering free tickets for the Friday the 20th if you switch to that night.
The new (mostly Shane-less) Popes have a new CD out in April. It can be pre-ordered from The Popes website (www.thepopes.uk.com). MacGowan will be singing in at least one of the tracks.
