Johnny already got that familiar glint in his eye.
Biafra looks like he’s planning a high school massacre.

The Pistols' played their first and last gig in Yorkshire - what influence did punk have?

Yes you probably have, it was first broadcast in 2016.
Was that part of SPOTS Sex Pistols on Tour? Sure it was for the striking miners.
The Huddersfield show was for kids of striking firemen
I think the SPOTS tour was earlier in the year in places like Wolverhampton
I'm pretty sure the Pistols were booked to play in Rochdale around Xmas 77 but it got cancelled

I saw Iggy Pop and the Stooges supproted by the Vibrators at the Apollo in 1977, with Mr David Bowie playing keyboards for the Stooges.
It's become one of those shows where everybody says they were there, the reality was the Apollo was only about three quarters full. A fantastic gig mind you.
Oh to be a crazy 18/19 year old with no worries other than paying my mam her board money each month.

I’ve just updated my punk playlist during a quiet spell at work. I know a couple have sneaked in there that aren’t really punk but not to worry. Any suggestions of bands I’ve missed off for the next update?
You are quite right. They were booked to play at the Champness Hall on Drake Street. I sort of remember the fury of the local rag at the time but I would have been way too young to go unless it was a kid's party like Huddersfield.

It was a documentary, on BBC1. Think it was called The Pistols at Christmas or a punk Christmas - I’m sure it’s on YouTube, I’ll look later

That golf advertising fucker has got another think coming if he thinks he’s getting in my playlist.
Nah, but never got into them really. Think I can only name one song off the top of my head.

I’m off to see the golf playing fucker in 2 weeks time!
I think Generation X’s first album still stands up. Valley Of The Dolls doesn’t but the 1st one yes.

Got to agree with your sentiments but Iggy had split from the Stooges prior to that gig.
Got my ticket for his return in May!

I didn't know/realise that, I've spent the last 40+ years telling everyone I'd see Iggy with the Stoogies. TBF me and my mate only went as we were huge Bowie fans at the time, and with Iggy and Bowie hanging out together in Berlin we thought Bowie might sing some songs but alas he just played keyboards on the side.
It was the 1st time I'd seen Bowie without blood red hair, as 1973 in Blackburn he was Ziggy and 76 in the Empire Pool Wembley he was The Thin White Duke.
I enjoyed the gig as far as I can remember and the Vibrators were good as well.
