Sham 69 @ Ritz

Post by Alexinblack »

Got my ticket for this Yesterday. Ive not seen the original line up yet and I'm really looking forward to hearing all of those classics tunes sung by Jimmy Pursey.

I have seen the other line a couple of times and they are pretty good.

What a great gig it was everything I expected it to be. I missed the first band Gimp Fest who I have seen before. The second support band well called the Defects from Belfast, had some good raw songs and I enjoyed seeing them. Then ay 9pm Sham entered the stage. What have we got, followed by I Don't Wanna, Ulster and Rip Off. Other songs in the set, Tell Us the truth, Question and Answers, Angels with dirt faces, Stockwell, Hurry Hurry up Harry, Borstal Breakout, Hersham Boys, If the Kids are United.

They were on for an hour, but it was a great gig. I'm so glad I have managed to have seen them now, another band ticked off the list, even better to meet Jimmy after the gig too.
