sadly to the cancellation of last weekends Alt-Fest I was able to see The

Damned on “Home Turf” playing The Forum, Kentish Town for the wallet saving

price of a Tenner. (All right £14.15 once all the unnecessary charges had been

added). I know it was only in April that the band graced the self same venue

for Captain’s 60th Birthday gig, but this (second) time around there

was less of a party atmosphere with more of a down to business vibe. Although

Captain still gives as good as he gets in the banter department. A nice long

set, still nothing post “Eloise”. I still love to hear this line up tackle

something from “Not Of This Earth/I’m Alright Jack”, but at the end of the day

I’m just glad The Damned are still out there. New album pleeeease……..
