A tip of the hat to my lovely Scottish friends and family with Burns Night in mind, I’m playing The Skids 2 x 7” vinyl Masquerade release from 1979. Great artwork on the cover.
Songs;
‘Masquerade’, ‘Out Of Town’, ‘Another Emotion’ and ‘Aftermath Dub’

I’ve got this brilliant A and B side on white vinyl 🎯🎯👌

Takes me back to a seeing The Skids rock Newcastle City Hall in 1979. ‘T.V. Stars’ went down so well that they played it twice! A hall full of people shouting out
“Albert Tatlock” together. Great times! ✊👌🔥

Another Skids gig last night, this time focused on 3rd album The Absolute Game. They were great again, support from Millie Watson #chopsgigs #theskids #the100club

Albert Tatlock!

The Skids played the Odeon #otd in 1980. Richard Jobson picked out a kid from the crowd to belt out TV Stars on the encore.

Here’s my front row ticket, a £3 bargain.

This song is never not thrilling.
I also love the U2/Green Day cover.

#OnThisDay 1980 #Skids released their 3rd album. A brilliant band that had definitely been overlooked in favour of more popular groups. #TheSkids deserves much more recognition than is given. The Absolute Game has an art #punk pop feeling & #MickGlossop does a great job.
