week’s show is once again a live affair celebrating Jimmy Pursey of Sham 69’s
60th Birthday which was recorded at The 100 Club and was, you’ll be surprised
to learn, the first time Sham 69 had played there. The line-up comprised of
nearly all the classic members; Dave Parson, Dave Tregunna with drummer Mark
Cain’s place being filled by Robin Guy. As you’d expect the gig was sold out
and me being stupid I forgot to remove my hoodie let alone my leather jacket
and denim cut off and almost passed out due to heat exhaustion during the first
support act. Thanks 100 Club Security for coming to my rescue. What a Big Girls
Blouse. It had been 19 years since I last saw Sham 69, that was supporting The
Damned in Birmingham at an all day Punk Festival. After last nights performance
I won’t be leaving it so long!
