Adrian Edmondson (UK comedian & actor) and his two accompanists who play Punk era classics reframed as tradional Folk songs, on the penultimate date of their First Farewell Tour...
Ade was on crutches, and stool-bound, due to the triple whammy of a sprained ankle, a broken toe, and gout all in the same leg. His between song banter was frequently hilarious, and typically foul-mouthed. His fellow musicians Andy Dinan (Fiddle), & Troy Donockley (Bazouki, Uillean Pipes & other stuff) are brilliant players, and Ade's vocals, whilst not particularly skilled are suitably impassioned.
They played a great set of songs from the Pistols, The Jam, XTC, The Stranglers, Talking Heads, The Ramones, Motorhead, The Clash, and the like. The delivery was always quite reverential, but the overall mood was one of fun and celebration.
Fine gig.
