Sham 69 - Brixton Electric

The Brixton Fridge has re-opened as the Brixton Electric and we went along to see the original Sham 69 line-up back together again wondering if they could still cut it after all this time. It didn't take long to realise they could, Jimmy Pursey prowling the stage and Dave Parsons on guitar as if it was 1977 again. All the old favourites got a run out, including raucous versions of 'Borstal Breakout', 'If The Kids Are United' and 'Hurry Up Harry' as well as newer songs 'Stockwell' and the amusing 'Asbo Sports Day'. The audience seemed to be mostly made up of 45-55 year olds wishing they were teenagers again, enjoying the nostalgia-fest.
