Self Aid - 17 May 1986

I was at this as a teenager and I've forgotten half the line up.

Only have a conversation last night with a pal about how I wish I had seen the Pogues live. Jaysus I'm getting old.

he was brutal that day , didnt he fire phillo from his shite band and lived of it ever since :)

15 minutes of rory gallagher , seems mental with the gift of hindsight

I just remember he seemed to be on The Late Late Show every week, harping on about Phil Lynott

The Blades turned it down, whatever about the rest. I remember Paul Cleary giving a reason why they didn't want to play but forget what it was precisely.

I always liked Brush, though in moderate enough doses was possibly advisable. I remember one of the stories involved Phil accompanying him on his honeymoon. They were definitely close anyway.

ha ha I was thinking of Live Aid in 85, which Sharkey had nothing to do with as we all know
