The Grim Reaper certainly seems to be having a problem finishing the former off, but surely it can't be long before the singing car crash that is Winehouse comes to a shuddering halt. In terms of performances, The Pogues couldn't possibly fail, could they? People know what to expect and MacGowan seems to have a strange sort of professionalism on stage. Winehouse was late on stage and (possibly due to a poorly set up sound system) was drowned out by her band. Even her weird little half dance appeared more lack lustre than usual. If I was booking artists for a festival, I wouldn't touch Winehouse with a 10 foot crack pipe. MacGowan and Winehouse both fall into the category, ‘artists to see before they die’.
