The Pogues releasing “The Pogues in Paris – 30th Anniversary Concert Live at the Olympia” Blu-Ray/DVD/CD in November
Music News | Sep 13th, 2012
The Pogues just played 2 concerts in Paris the last two days and are set to release their long-awaited Blu-Ray/DVD/CD “The Pogues in Paris – 30th Anniversary Concert Live at the Olympia.” Besides the Blu-Ray, there will be a CD and DVD versions, bonus content and I believe sold worldwide. Pictures above is the limited edition box set. The band hasn’t really had any concert videos since Live at The Town and Country which featured Joe Strummer and members of the Specials. This is long overdue and can’t wait to get this!

In other Pogue related news, accordion player James Fearnley recently published his memoirs Here Comes Everybody and I’m currently reading it. It’s fantastic so far so if you’re interested in the band, it’s a must-read!
