Being a tribute band is always a tall order, especially if it requires the kind of note-by-note precision found in traditional Irish music. In the '80s and early '90s, The Pogues made quite the name for themselves in their Irish homeland, followed by every other nation that had a hard time telling the difference between a stinking bar fight and a casual drink at the local boozer. In paying tribute, The Rogues brought all manner of merriment to their show and for a brief period of time, transformed the Indi Bar into a cosy pub in an Irish town.

The sombre atmosphere of the bar was obliterated in an instant as the band wasted no time bursting forth with Greenland Whale Fisheries. The six-piece took turns singing, each donning the communal pair of dark sunglasses as Pogues' frontman Shane MacGowan was often known for doing. The band sang rollicking tales of mischief in Drunken Sailor and Transmetropolitan, but tempered the frivolity with sweet harmonies and heartwarming flute melodies in favourite Fairytale Of New York and that ode to the proletariat, Navigator. That the Irish among the crowd were singing the loudest was a sure sign the band was well and truly living up to the reputation of the lads from Éire.
