Vinyl Revelations proudly presents: COCKNEY REJECTS - live in concert This show will SELL OUT! Don't hang about History of The Cockney Rejects Rarely in the long history of British rock’n’roll has there been a story of such depth, magnitude and sheer turbulence as that of the Cockney Rejects. The band were formed in the late Seventies in East London as an answer to the art school punk that had dominated the scene up until then. Fiercely working class in stance and attitude, the band eschewed the political ramblings of punk’s first wave and sang about the circumstances that surrounded them and millions of street kids in Britain’s inner cities- Police harassment, street battles and football to name three. Signed by EMI after playing four local gigs (less than the pistols!) they found themselves playing sell out tours the length and breadth of the UK and seeing their debut album storm the charts. Top of the pops appearances followed, which became the stuff of legend as the band generally ran amok in the hallowed White city studios, finally getting banned from the show for their boisterous behavior. In 1980 the band recorded a riotous version of ‘I’m forever blowing bubbles...

UK Subs

Esquires · Bedford

2027 - The FINAL FAREWELL... That time will eventually arrive and... The U.K. SUBS, after 50 fun-packed, furious, fast-paced FAN-tastic years, are officially calling it a day, in order to pass the torch over to the hundreds of younger punk bands who they’ve hopefully inspired for half a century! Since forming in the summer of 1977, Charlie and the band have stood as the relentless beating heart of British punk rock, outlasting eras, trends, and peers with an unmatched work ethic. Driven by Charlie’s indefatigable energy which forged a fiercely loyal fanbase, the U.K. Subs proved that punk was never a passing phase, but a lifelong commitment... The U.K. Subs are proud to have played gigs in every single year from 1977. Fact! From the roaring hooks of the debut album Another Kind of Blues the band eventually completed an album for every letter of the alphabet and beyond. What an achievement. The U.K. Subs have played thousands upon thousands of sweaty, high-octane gigs across the globe in venues both small and huge, and in doing so, they’ve truly defined that never-say-die spirit of DIY independence. “Fifty years is one hell of a run, and we want to finish it on our own terms...
