Sham 69 tickets and listings

The band they called the 'Dustbin Men Of Punk' have done more shows in the

last 5 years than since its conception in 1976. Fronted by Tim V the Londoner

with a love of football South of the River Thames had brought back some

street cred to a band that had been worn thin by previous incumbent Jimmy

Pursey. Now back after a studio break and with original Lead guitarist Neil

Harris and who was the original founder of the band back in 1975. Reformed in

1986 after the split in 83, the man on the drums was Ian Whitewood who is still

drumming for SHAM 69 and this will be his 26th year behind the kit. On Bass

guitar for the last 3 years is ex UK SUBS guitarist Al Campbell, who had spent

13 years with them before doing time for Marky Ramone and US Punk legend

Jayne County and the Electric Chairs before joining SHAM 69. Now also

making up the 2nd guitarist, a format not done since 76 is ex Angelic Upstarts

man Tony Feedback. The band have toured the World almost in the last 5

years, with it peaking by touring China, which features in a new film to be

released soon. The band will be playing all the hits as well as early rare ones

and some from the latest albums. A power band with a powerful message.. full

steam ahead the good ship SHAM 69 sails today!
