Noel gets a Smack, but at Least we Have The Pogues
It's been a busy time for your intrepid blogger as of late, and as such, news which should have been posted days ago has long since fallen by the wayside.
But let's see if we can catch up, shall we?
Perhaps the biggest music-related news this week comes as Oasis founder and guitarist, Noel Gallager is assaulted during a show in Canada.
According to reports, Noel and his band of Manchester music makers were part way through their set at Toronto's Island Park as part of Canada's version of the V Festival, when a man rushed the stage and floored the man behind Oasis' biggest hits during their classic anthem, 'Wonderwall'.
The man was tackled by security, and after a short break, the band returned to the stage to complete their set with a rendition of The Beatles 'I Am The Walrus'.
In the days that followed this incident, further reports note that a 47 year-old Ontario man, Daniel Sulivan, has been charged with assault.
The only question I have regarding this whole affair is why? Surely the one member of the Gallagher clan most folk would like to give a good kicking is the brash, cocky, younger sibling, Liam?
The mind, as they say, boggles.
But anyway, onwards and upwards.
The news exciting me the most at the minute is that The Pogues are once again set to embark on their annual Christmas cash-in. AHEM, excuse me, I mean tour.
I last caught The Pogues on their usual Christmas outing two years ago when they were supported by the rather awesome Dropkick Murphys (if memory serves me correct anyway, I'm starting to wonder if it wasn't actually Flogging Molly).
That gig was an absolutely superb night out, and I'd recommend anyone who's never seen the band live to check them out this Christmas.
And that's all for now folks. Stay turned for more later in the week.
