Roll on 2012
Our Autumn Series ended with two fantastic gigs. Anti-Nowhere League/The Members double bill was high energy, ass kicking punk rock at it’s best. Click here for the live review on Rock Kent
By contrast, the packed crowd at FISH were in silent awe of this amazing performer. You could have heard a pin drop as the most charismatic singer we have seen, proved that he just keeps getting better and better. We cannot wait to have him back. If you were there I know we’ll see you again. If not, DON’T miss him next time.

DR FEELGOOD
MARCH 10th 2012 7.30pm The East Quay
THE BEAT
MARCH 9th 2012 7.30pm
THE EAST QUAY
Incredibly, it was The Beat’s first album that spawned the hits “Tears of a Clown”, “Mirror in The Bathroom”, “Hands off….She’s Mine” AND “Can’t Get used to Losing You”. After 3 platinum albums and having built a fantastic live reputation across the world, The Beat disbanded at the height of their fame.
Following numerous offers, they returned to the live stage in 2003 with a sell out at The Royal Festival Hall. Described by Q magazine as a
“brilliant, uplifting live act with songs that sound as fresh today as they did 30 years ago…” The Beat promise Whitstable a blistering night of Ska classics.

Anti-Nowhere League + The Members
December 2nd 2011 7.30pm THE EAST QUAY
Two classic punk bands on one bill.
An infamous group of hardcore punk rock anarchists, Anti-Nowhere League, just back from their UK tour with Motorhead, have been living the punk lifestyle for decades. Lead singer Animal formed the band in 1980, and promptly got arrested at their very first gig. The history of the League is littered with brushes with the law, rock and roll misbehaviour and very loud music.
The release of their debut album, “We Are…The League”, saw all copies temporarily seized by the Obscene Publications Squad and they were banned from TV and Radio, including being thrown out of the Top Of The Pops studio when Animal brandished an axe. Their first single was a cover version of Ralph McTell’s ‘Streets of London’, featuring some interesting new lyrics, with the B side that was to become the group’s anthem, & now adopted by Metallica as part of their live set, ‘So What’.
With a line up now including the one and only Rat Scabies on drums, The Members are one of punk’s most underrated bands. They were the new wave’s great satirists and a part of a British pop tradition which dated back to Ray Davies of The Kinks, and stretches forward to Mike Skinner of The Streets. Best known for what was to become a punk classic, “Sound of the Suburbs”, they are one of the first of the era’s bands to embrace reggae and “few did so with as much love and style as the The Members” The Observer.
