The Pogues

The Pogues will be performing as part of the Forestry Commission's Forest Live annual concert series this summer where bands play in beautiful woodland settings across the country.

Presenting a compelling hybrid of folk, punk and rock, The Pogues made their mark on the British music scene by producing a string of classic albums including 'Rum, Sodomy & The Lash', 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God' and 'Peace and Love'. Their innovative records, played with traditional instruments and electric guitars, created captivating music especially due to the song-writing talent of inimitable frontman Shane MacGowan. Revered for their legendary live performances, the band regularly headlines festivals across the world yet the Forest Live date will be their first appearance in the East Anglian region in well over a decade.
