Pogues
Posted by Stewart Bywater (Peterborough, United Kingdom) on 20 August 2007 in People & Portrait.
Spider Stacy and Andrew Ranken of 'The Pogues' playing with the Dead Rabbits in the Brewery Tap pub, Peterborough, England. They were playing at the Randall Rootz Festival, which was founded to commemorate Mark Randall, a dear friend to many and extremely talented musician.

Wow.
I saw the Pogues years ago in Montreal ( circa 1991 probably ), playing with the Violent Femmes...Funny, I wondered recently if they still performed.
I love your concert shots.

@Lala: Yes. They have recently got back together. This shot was of Spider Stacy and Andrew Ranken [two of the founding members of The Pogues] playing with 'The Dead Rabbits', a Pogues tribute band. It was taken at The Randall Rootz Festival, which was founded in memory of my friend Mark Randall, the band's drummer, who died earlier this year of cancer, aged 33. It was an amazing night! Thanks for your comment!:)
