The UK's leading Pogues tribute band, serving up faithful, riotous Celtic folk-punk with the blessing of The Pogues' own drummer.
Friday 11th December 2026
Brickmakers, Norwich
Doors at 19:00 | Ends: 22:30
Formed in 2007, The Pogue Traders have built a reputation as the UK's leading tribute to The Pogues. Their set is a comprehensive run through the Celtic punk legends' catalogue, staying faithful to the studio arrangements while capturing all the raucous energy that made the originals so beloved. Expect crowd-pleasers like "Fairytale of New York", "Dirty Old Town" and "Streams of Whiskey", delivered with the kind of passion that turns any room into a proper pub session.
Over the years they've played sell-out shows in London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Nottingham, alongside packed pubs the length and breadth of the country, leaving thousands of grinning (and slightly hung-over) fans in their wake. The band even carry the ultimate seal of approval: Andrew Ranken, drummer with The Pogues himself, has called them the best Pogues tribute act he's seen. Whether you're a lifelong fan or completely new to the music, a night with The Pogue Traders is a warm, rowdy celebration of Shane MacGowan's much-loved songbook.
