[kj] The Ruts Paul Fox Benefit GIGS

[pssyche23]

Despite being Southall born and bred, and buying The Crack in late '79, I 
never saw them either ... the UK Subs was my first gig in April 1980 and 
Malcolm Owen died in May 1980 ... but I did manage to catch the Ruts DC in 
1981 ... my kids love the Zigger Zagger single (realised for the 2000 FA Cup 
Final) that Foxy plays on & recorded under the name of The Shed Enders ( 
http://www.cherryred.co.uk/football/artists/chelsea.php ) and featuring 
Laurel Aitken ...  oi, oi, oi ... :o)

Just booked my ticket... one not to be missed, though it's a shame about
the reason for this gig.  It's the nearest I'll ever get to seeing the Ruts
though.
