Introducing The Dead Rabbits, believed to be one of only two dedicated Pogues tribute acts in the UK. The Rabbits successfully recreate the energy and aura of the legendary folk/punk band and one of the greatest UK acts of the last 20 years. They have built up an enviable reputation for their raucous gigs which are invariably packed to the rafters with fans young and old singing along to MacGowan's classic, anthemic songs.
--------------------------------
The Dead Rabbits take their name from the famous Irish immigrant gang based in New York in the 1850s and were the main inspiration for the Martin Scorsese film 'The Gangs Of New York'. The name The Dead Rabbits means the opposite of what it first appears to say, 'dead' being 1893-New York City slang meaning 'best' and 'rabbit' meaning a man to be feared.

Hi the Rabbits, thanks so much for adding us. Our album is out a week before Christmas and features a truly eclectic mix of musicians. All profits will go to Sue Ryder Care, Thorpe Hall Hospice.
Hi , On Sunday October 14th we will be running the 13.1 miles of the Great Eastern Run to raise money for Thorpe Hall Hospice. It takes a lot of courage to stand on that start line but we believe we can do it. We also believe passionately in the work of Thorpe Hall. If you would like to sponsor us you can do so online at: www.justgiving.com/ThorpeHallRC
I would LOVE to make your gig but am holidaying with the family at the mo! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!! Will definitely come see you soon. All the best. Sue xx
