I see front centre a guy in a wheelchair, his friend or partner trying to build a wall with her arms to fend off the thriving mass of bodies heading his way and does so superbly. By the time they hit the 8th number, ‘Borstal Breakout’, all hell breaks loose in the crowd, pint glasses rain down like confetti as they smash into each other, but always stopping to pick up the fallen bodies. Vocally he smashes through every number, backed by one of the tightest punk bands around. The frontman has lost none of his stage presence over the years, staring down the crowd dressed in his usual attire, which comes across like a punk rock Steptoe, his footwear held together with gaffa tape, his clothes barely holding together at the seams. Pursey and co take to the stage to a huge cheer and burst into ‘What Have We Got’, with the crowd responding in unison with “f*ck all!” Sham 69 live at the Concorde 2, Brighton 12.11.21 (pic Cris Watkins/ PunkInFocus) (click pic to enlarge)
