Oops! Posting this now - as I forgot yesterday.
It’s 50 years ago today since The Sex Pistols played their first gig at the St Martin's School of Art in London!
To celebrate all things Punk we’re now offering OUR first recorded gig as a FREE download!

Another track on our forthcoming CD sees a complete remix and restoration of House Of The Rising Sun. Weighing in at over 6 minutes long, this performance is a slow, dark, brooding gothic behemoth of a track.

My heroes!
Adjacent to my guitar wall are my framed gig ticket stubs - the crème de la crème, memories of my very favourite gigs and bands.
If you ever wondered what The Crabs major influences & inspirations were, you need look no further.
