Sham 69 are an English punk band that formed in Hersham in 1976.[1]

Although not as commercially successful as many of their contemporaries, albeit with a greater number of chart entries, Sham 69 has been a huge musical and lyrical influence on the Oi! and streetpunk genres. The band allegedly derived their name from a piece of graffiti that founder Jimmy Pursey saw on a wall. It originally said Walton and Hersham '69 but had partly faded away, and made reference to when Walton & Hersham F.C. secured the Athenian League title in 1969.[2]

Exactly!
Only parsons left in the band now.
I thought it was cheap at 12.50 a ticket but aint seen or heard from them since the 80s so never gave it a thought.
Usually go and watch the rejects when they do a bridge house re union.
Im trying to convince myself im gonna enjoy it but im struggling.

Yeah, when The Blockheads come down your way, mate, don't expect Iain Dury to be fronting them.

Just trying to save you the next £12.50.
