Description
STOMPER PROMOTIONS & REV EM' UP PROMOTIONS PRESENT SHAM 69 - THE ORIGINAL 1977 LINEUP
SHAM 69 was formed in the working-class community of Hersham (in Surrey) in 1975 by singer and lyricist Jimmy Pursey; the name came from an ancient bit of graffiti celebrating a local football team's winning season in 1969. From the start, Sham 69's politics were populist, and their sound accessible; straight-ahead four-square punk with a hard rock influence and lyrics that often used sing-along slogans in their choruses, such as "If the Kids Are United" and "(Gonna Be A) Borstal Breakout.
SUPPORTS
HI FI SPITFIRES (featuring UK Subs guitarist Steve Straughan) are a three piece punk rock band who formed in 2008 who play all of their own material. Been described by one journalist as a band who would fit comfortably in a record collection between Give 'em enough rope by the Clash and SLF's Inflammable Material. They have probably played more gigs abroad than the UK.

Front woman Tara Rez's vocals can sound as elegant as Pauline Murray one minute, as exhilarating as Fay Fife the next, shriek like a banshee, or more accurately Poly Styrene!
YUR MUM are a powerhouse duo with a vibrant fusion of rock, punk and noise with tropical vibes. They've had airplay on BBC 6Music, Totalrock, 89 Radio Rock and more. They have played over 350 shows in the UK, Europe & USA.
