That’s a great read. A glimpse into the pre-punk pub rock world and a prophetic ending. The 101ers must have been a sight to see when they had the crowd behind them.
Thanks for sharing.

If ever there was justification for Joe jumping ship

Maybe. Just maybe, if they continue to blitz audiences like the Nashville and the Hope and Anchor, they’ll break out. Which is unlikely because, by and large, the punters need to have what’s good in life rammed down their throats. The Stones themselves were stuck in a tuppenny ha’penny Richmond pub until their very own superhustler came along. Andrew Oldham decided he wanted a piece of the action and created the whole mean and dirty image. That’s not quite what the 101’ers need but, if they don’t get some sort of image and the necessary financial backing, it’s possible they’ll remain on England’s chitlin circuit. Which will give me and a few others great nights out, but it won’t be a tenth of what a band of such dynamic potential deserve.
