While we mourn the victims of the Boston bombing atrocity, let’s celebrate a great Boston band. My wife says the Dropkick Murphys always give 100 per cent. She’s right.

In a really nice tribute, Dropkicks’ bassist Ken Casey said “If there hadn’t been The Pogues, there would never have been the Dropkick Murphys,” then introduced Pogues accordionist James Fearnley, who joined in on two songs.
