One of the best punk bands still going. We travelled from Stoke and my wife came with me for a night out although punk isn’t really her thing. However, she loved it. Jeff is a great frontman and the musicianship was spot on. Micky is a fantastic guitarist. The opening act, Noose, we’re also good. A great night at a great venue. This was our first time at The Hairy Dog and we look forward to many more.

My third gig at the Hairy Dog this year, and always found it to be a great venue. Staff switched on, bouncers firm but fair and friendly. I was sorry to see only about half the crowd numbers that the UK Subs and the Exploited pulled in at their gigs here, earlier this year. Yes, well that's their lookout. They missed a great gig, starting with Fighting In The Street, and ploughing thru a Greatest Hits set, peppered with a handful of later favourites. If you needed a bit of fitness training, get down the front for Stinky Turner's boxercise workout. It was all over by 2215hrs, so no problems with people catching buses and trains home.

Been listening to them on Spotify for a week to fresh up. They sound still the same. Very stopped moving. Brilliant performance and very well worth it
