Pogues plan comeback concerts

The Pogues are planning a series of concerts in December. The band, originally formed in 1982, will be fronted by Shane MacGowan.

He quit the group in 1991 and while the rest of The Pogues carried on briefly, they eventually disbanded in 1995.

They reunited in 2001, but this is the first tour since then. The reunion tour will take in gigs across the UK, and in Dublin's Point Theatre on December 23.
