Bad Shepherds

It has been busy few days for going out. After the comedy of Marcus Brigstocke, we returned to the Nottingham Playhouse to see The Bad Shepherds play their brand of punk songs in a folk style.

Lots of fun was had by some of us playing "spot the intro", trying to work out what the song was going to be. Those of us of a certain age recognised the songs before others in the audience. The intro of The Jam classic "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" was a revelation, as was the mixing of parts of "Whiskey in the Jar" into "Teenage Kicks".

Examples of what we enjoyed is available on You Tube...
A cover of The Sex Pistols' God save the Queen...

Here they are singing The Steeleye Span song "All around my hat" with a punk twist to the lyrics...


They are back in the area at Lowdham in the Spring...might just go along
