Re; Shite....He's not playing.

> Gutted i am

Yeah, me too. Just got an e-mail to say that the Pogues support is definitely going ahead and that the Hot Press report was only conjecture and hearsay. Still, look on the bright side, maybe Freddie might do this one aswell...The Queen Is Alive....

Seemingly in the running are Dublin bands Pony Club , Sack and Alphastates, who Moz is reportedly keen on.

Hope its Sack,really enjoyed them in 2002( and since).

 

[Come Back To Cavan]

Autamata also a possibility ?

I heard Autamata mentioned as well as a possibility ? - I'm surprised that Morrissey is supposed to like them, but I think they'd be excellent.

Re: Autamata also a possibility ?

Maybe its Carol keoghs voice ?he did like the Plague Monkeys and come to think of it the would be`s another Irish band with (2) female singers.

Someone mentioned he loves Alphastates singers voice too.
