[kj] OT: The Ruts "celebration" nite @ Shepherds Bush Empire25/01/2008

[pssyche23]

Another minor gathering tonight with Ed (another old Southall boy) and an ever smiling Dave from Edinburgh ... a bloody good nite out it was for 10 GBP plus beers (can't find that pound sign since the kids did something to my laptop) ... the evening was kicked off by Jimmy Pursey's Day 21 then a great set of Ruts numbers by Vice School - that's Beki Bondage plus some remaining members of Girlschool ... Foxy's son played drums for local band The Dirty Strangers and the Captain's set included a version of Staring At The Rudeboys with Henry Rollins in full flow ... and further beers were raised to the memory of Raven ...

  THE PREMIERE SCREENING OF 'THE GIG'
  Introduced by HENRY ROLLINS
   
  On the 16th July 2007 a gig took place which has been described by many as one of the best punk gigs of all time!
   
  As a benefit for Paul Fox who had been diagnosed with inoperable Cancer, it was a gig born of tragic circumstances that had a profound effect on everyone there, fans and artists alike.  All the artists performed for free and all egos were left at the door.  The 'plug in and play' nature of the night and the limited time available meant that we got the very best from every artist and many of them performed with an intensity and vibrancy reminiscent of the early days. Nobody who managed to get one of the much sought after tickets and was lucky enough to attend that night was left in any doubt that they were witnessing a truly historic event.
   
  This short film shows the highlights of that night and has been specially edited to celebrate the launch of the Limited Edition Tribute DVD from the event.
   
  This is set to be another historic night.
