No Lip at The Five Bells, Stanwell.
That was a good night and it very nearly didn't happen. I'd been looking forward to seeing No Lip, the only Punk band worth seeing, play Baroosh in Staines for a very long time.
Then the venue closed down.
Luckily, the band found a replacement venue at the Five Bells in Stanwell;
Punk rock at it's best;
These days I'm not so good at standing up for a whole evening but it was worth it even if I'm paying for it now;
The Clash, The Ruts, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols played fast and furious as it was meant to be played, in a small venue up close and personal.
There was Pogoing (not by me), beer went flying, speakers went flying! Someone tried to steal my hat, twice.
It was a good, good night.
1977 all over again, even if my joints are a bit creaky these days;
Staines finest punk band are getting a reputation a lot further away these days, you can catch them at festivals as well as all the major local venues - they are even on Facebook too.
