Overview
Legendary singer Shane MacGowan is to play a mini-residency at London's famous Ronnie Scott's jazz club.
The former Pogues frontman will perform four dates during "a month of Sundays" at the Soho venue early next year.
The shows may be recorded for DVD and are expected to draw high-profile fellow musicians to play on the bill.
MacGowan plays live only intermittently with his band, The Popes. He is also due to perform eight dates with a reformed Pogues line-up in December.
His spokeswoman said he was "on a roll" after playing at summer festivals and completing tracks for a Popes album.
"After a lull a year ago, he's having a creative surge; he's on the ball at the moment," she said.
MacGowan is due to play Ronnie Scott's on the last Sunday in January and first three Sundays in February 2005. He may also perform a further show in November this year.
