hi james, delighted to hear that you’re bringing out your book. would like to know if/when you’re doing any promotional stuff in ireland with it?
Yes! I’m doing a reading (presentation/discussion/Q & A) at Liberty Hall in Dublin on the evening of June 8th, at 8.00pm, as part of the Dublin Writers’ Festival. There should be an article before long in the Irish Independent on Sunday about what I do during the day. I’m also going out to a radio station in Pasadena to record an interview for Dave Fanning’s programme. I don’t know when that airs, but I’ll post about it when I know.
Hi James,
Great show in Melbourne earlier this month. Quick question for you: will “Here Comes Everybody” be available as a e-Book?
Jon
There was mention of an e-book. Let me find out.
Hi James, we really enjoyed the book reading at The Social on Monday. I have posted up a little feature on the Retro Man Blog including some photos by rock photographer Paul Slattery, I hope you like it! All the best, Steve

Steve, Thanks for coming to the Social. I had a brilliant, if heart-in-my-mouth sort of time. Thanks for the post on your blog. I’ll put a link on my blog about it. When I finally get round to writing on it
Hi James
When you have some London book signing dates and venues can you please post them on this blog site
Thanks
Sarah
I’m in the process of finalising my promotional activities with Faber and Faber’s publicist, together with tinkering with my blog to include a page about what’s coming up. Initially, I’ll be doing such things in the week beginning April 16th. Please check back here later.
James, will you be doing any book signings in the United States?
Bernadette,
As soon as the book’s published in the US, I hope to go on a multi-city reading/signing binge, from (independent) bookstore to (public) radio station. Hopefully publication in US will be soon in coming. I’m working on it. When it happens, I’ll be posting it here on my blog. Thanks for your interest.
Hello again James,thanks again for your replies.The first time you played Leicester was as support to Elvis Costello at the De Montfort Hall in about 1983 (so I’m told),then you played at the Poly’ in Easter 1984 a couple of weeks after the ‘Waxies Dargle’ clip was on The Tube,then you played the Uni’ when ‘Rum,Sodomy and the Lash’ was coming out,so about 1985.Then,after that,all Leicester appearances were at the De Montfort Hall including one with Joe Strummer.All the very best to you and yours…..Mark.
Mark, I’ve edited your reply, for reasons of space only. Thanks for all the details of the second time you and your mates saw us play – at Leicester University? I’ve been looking through my records and I can only find Leicester de Montfort Hall. Chaos is a prerequisite of creation, so it’s all good.
Many thanks for your reply James. I’ll let the lads who were there know that the whole thing was thoroughly disorganised from day one, and all the better for it. Hope everything goes great with the book…….can’t wait. All the best, Mark
Just found out about this. Brilliant news! I’ve enjoyed your writing style in your blogs in the past so I know it’s gonna be great. I’ll always remember your description of Shane’s laugh as sounding like an egg being cracked into a hot frying pan! Which is spot on!
Bobby, the blogs for pogues.com were great practice for the longer haul of – the page count stands at 397 actually, but that’s without the index. Actually, it’s ‘the laugh that sounds as though someone suddenly decides to fry an egg’. Shane’s laugh has launched a thousand similes. One of them, I forget where I saw it, had something to do with the gassing of badgers, I think.
Hello James,really looking forward to the book on May 3rd. I was a Pogues fan from the moment that ‘The Tube’ showed the ‘Waxies Dargle’ clip one Friday. A couple of weeks later The Pogues played at Leicester Poly at the Easter ball. About 10 of us went. All of us loved a drink. None of us had great clothes or the looks that drew any attention from the ladies – so you lot were ideal! Great nights out and greater music.Thanks and bring on the book!
Mark – thanks for getting in touch. I remember making the video for ‘The Tube’. The camera movements are manic. It’s difficult to see that Andrew has been replaced by Darryl on drums (not for the last time – there’s a couple of bits in the book about Darryl’s deputising) and that Jem has been replaced (in just one shot by the look of it) by a guy called Dave Sketchley, who performed as badly as I did the break dancing on the Streams of Whiskey video. I can’t remember, though, what excuse Andrew and Jem had for not being there that afternoon.
Hi James,
Really looking forward to reading this book. The cover is also great. I bumped into you briefly while interviewing Shane backstage at Brixton in December 2006. This was for my book on the second-generation Irish (Irish Blood, English Heart). I wondered if your book might include material on The Pogues’ tours of Ireland in the mid-1980s.
All the best,
Sean.
Thanks, Sean. The mid-80s tours of Ireland make a bit of a showing, so they do. I had a lot of fun writing those bits. Someone tried to steal Jem.
