About this concert
7:00 PM GMT
THE POGUE TRADERS + The Black & Gold – 7:30pm, Saturday 12th December, Bedford Esquires
One for the diary, very pleased to confirm the revisit of THE POGUE TRADERS back to Bedford Esquires on Saturday 12th December following their sell out show in 2025.
Formed back in 2007, The Pogue Traders have become established as the UK’s leading Pogues tribute band. With a comprehensive set of Pogues numbers that are very faithful to the studio arrangements, The Pogue Traders play to sell-out major-venue audiences across the UK, leaving behind thousands of satisfied (and hung-over) gig-goers in their wake.
“The Best Pogues tribute band I’ve ever seen” – Andrew Ranken (The Pogues)
‘I’ll come straight to the point: The Pogue Traders are absolutely fantastic. Seriously, if you ever see these guys and leave without an ear-to-ear grin spread across your chops and a song in your heart, stop and check your pulse – you may very well be dead.’
Special support on the night comes from B-Towns finest, The Black & Gold.

Artist bio
We are a bunch of experienced musicians from across the musical spectrum who came together back in 2006 to play tribute to The Pogues with the same combination of musicianship and energy. At our gigs, audience participation is inevitable - foot-tapping, dancing, singing along - and maybe some drinking along the way! A great time is had by all. See you at the bar!

What fans are saying
Great fun and perfect venue - great sound and close your eyes and you are back watching the pogoes of a bit less chaotic than I remember (and that’s just me). Sing along versions to dirty old town was my highlight and the man you don’t meet every day. Will definitely come along again.
