'The Men They Couldn't Hang' at Subterrania, I think. The first 'big' band I saw were 'The Wonder Stuff' at Brixton Academy. What an excellent night.

On Sunday went to the Punk at the Academy Gig in Glasgow while at Tracys (my fiance lives and works in Glasgow which is well handy!!) and saw some Punk Legends, some for the first time others not and most of the crowd were the wrong side of 40..lol.. it was for the 30th Anniversary of Punk Rock..good line up as it was a Clash Tribute Band, A Stiff Little Fingers Tribute Band, G.B.H., the Meteors, the Beat, the Damned and the Rezillos..fantastic evening..;0)

Hi Oggy...

I love the Jam, especially the early singles that were more Punk than mod..great Band..Saw the Sex Pistols when they reformed and had Stiff Little fingers supporting, they were probably more together than they would ever have been in the 1970's and were all the better for having Glen Matlock on bass..;0)

Sham 69 were a class act, i well remember them on Top Of the Pops and that cheeky Jimmy Pursey, 'Hello mum, guess whos on top of the pops again!' , 'Doint turn it off watch this!'.. Hersham Boys, Borstal Breakout,If The Kids Are United,angels with Dirty Faces..how I miss the days of Punk, was a bit too young too appreciate it first time round in 1976 but have caught up! lol.. Saw Blondie when they reformed too, one of my other favourite all time Bands....

The Specials..Coventrys Finest and one of the most Classic Ska and two tone Bands ever..(thats why I was so happy to see the Beat on sunday, who were superb!) along with Early Madness and the Selecter...liked Fun boy 3 with Terry Hall too!! clever man...I remember seeing the Specials on the Whistle Test..good memories..Music these days just doesnt seem to have the same appeal for me apart from a few Bands.. im also a big Go-Gos and Bangles fan, there were some good Bands in the 80's contrary to some peoples opinions!! Yazoo,Ultravox,Adam and The Ants, the Pogues, Early (and darker!) Human League, R.E.M. and many others.....

all the best...

the jam were apparently kicked out of a pub in farnborough because the landlord said they had so little talent they would never get far ....oh well

[Oggy]

Wonder if he ate his hat, they were kool as a well kool, and Paul Weller still going strong, I know Bruce Foxton had a single out Freak, which was great but whatever happen to him and rick, was it?
