Borderline Comment:
There isn't much you can say about this band. They've been around forever, they've done it all and they're an absolutely incredible live band.
They consist of Kevin Morris (drums), Phil Mitchell (Bass) and Steve Walwyn (guitar) who have been with the band since the 80s and Paul Kane, a fantastic vocalist who used to front The Animals II.
They started out in Canvey Island in mid 70's, playing hard edged gritty R'n'B on the London rock circuit and went on to have not only a number of hit singles, but a No 1 album 'Stupidity', which captured some of the atmosphere of a Feelgood's gig.

Anyhow, the band is playing as well now as they’ve ever played and generate lots of energy on stage, which is always guaranteed to create an electric atmosphere wherever and whenever they play.
