There’s no future… in England’s dreaming…

PUNKS NOT DAD
Not so much angry young men as slightly grumpy ones – maladjusted and middle-aged masters of anarchy and destruction Punks Not Dad truly speak for a generation… their own.

Just because they like to wear Blue Harbour gear – and have a nice sit down after a brisk walk – doesn’t mean they’re not anarchists at heart! Just because the only remotely rock ‘n’ roll death they’re likely to have is choking on a Sunday lunch roast potato – or having a heart attack whilst assembling an Billy bookshelf – doesn’t mean they won’t occasionally gob at old ladies (unless it’s their mothers of course).

Punks Not Dad are carefully dismantling the music scene and storing the pieces somewhere safe. After all – as they say themselves – “You never know when it might come in handy”.

DJ SCRATCHY
Scratchy was tour DJ for The Clash and remains one of the most committed and respected collectors of music around. For this one, Scratchy delves into the roots of rock n roll – taking in vintage blues and howling, brassbound stompers – with a dash of Columbian Cumbia and Jamaican Ska.

COUNT SKYLARKIN
The Count is back on hosting and record spinning duties – which means dirty jazz, jump-jive, rock-a-billy, nasty blues, bop, ska and early reggae magic.

THE GENTS
Upstairs The Gents provide a very 21st century cockney knees-up on the Old Joanna. A genuine 4-handed cockney fun machine, her Maj would be very much amused.
