After last night’s 40th anniversary show, could it be anything else? #morningpop #thepogues #rumsodomyandthelash

My gig of the year has to be #ThePogues performing #RumSodomyAndTheLash.
Their use of young, innovative musicians and artists to collaborate with made this so much more meaningful than other ‘anniversary tours’, whilst still remaining true to the essential spirit and fire of Shane and the band.

News: The Pogues and Buddy Guy Announce Sydney Opera House Concerts for April 2026 The Pogues return to Australia for the first time in 14 years to celebrate Rum Sodomy & the Lash’s 40th anniversary, while blues legend Buddy Guy brings Ain’t Done With the Blues to the Sydney Opera House for an extraordinary week of live music.

Two legends. One stage. @ThePoguesOfficial and @therealBuddyGuy bring timeless music and unmatched energy to the Sydney Opera House in April 2026. #ThePogues #BuddyGuy #RumSodomyAndTheLash #AintDoneWithTheBlues @SydneyOperaHouse #LiveMusicAustralia #IrishFolkPunk #BluesLegend #FolkPunk

Off to see the Pogues tomorrow in Toronto. I think this will be my 10th ish time, but my first since the passing of Shane.

Did anyone go to the Boston show?

I hear it was cathartic and insanely good.

40 years ago #ThePogues #RumSodomyAndTheLash was released.
Their 2nd album, my first. It changed my life & set alight my love of music.

Who knows which seminary or cemetery 🪦 I would’ve ended up in by now!
