About this event

It’s All Kicking Off Tour

The band was formed in 1975, and founding member and guitarist Neil Harris, who formed the band with Jimmy Pursey in 1975, remained in this lineup until his death.

Neil, along with the other original members Albie Slider, Johnny Goodfornothing and Billy Bostik, performed such hits as Borstal Breakout and Hey Little Rich Boy prior to the band’s second lineup change in late 1977. The band went on to have others such as Hurray Up Harry, Angels With Dirty Faces and the anthem If The Kids Are United.

The band currently features along with Tim V, the bands longest-serving drummer at 36 years behind the kit for SHAM 69.. Ian Whitewood. Unique…yes of course as the only UK Punk act to have toured China…unless you count WHAM in the Punk genre.

On Lead Guitar we have Paul Brightman, who joined for the band’s US Tour in 2016 and on Bass Al Campbell who joined the band in 2009, he has a pristine pedigree in Punk after serving 13 years with UK SUBS and playing with both Marky Ramone and Jayne County and the Electric Chairs.

Now with such anthemic as songs as Sing When You’re Winning making the charts both here in the UK and Europe, and other songs such as Last Gang in London and the more recent Sign Of The Times being used in movies, the band have achieved so much against the tide. The band who are praised for kicking arse onstage and at a ripe age are dumbfounding audiences worldwide with their passion and total stage presence.

So, this is SHAM 69 now and though many have scoffed at their existence they have come to regret it having been overwhelmed by the power of the performance.
