Academy In The UK (Birmingham gig - possible CaB meet?)

[alan nagsworth]

NE PUNX UP FER THIS?????

It's at a bunch of different Carling Academy venues annually and I must say it's a fucking blast. An epic punk all-dayer (12pm-2am) for £28.50, what more could you want?* I went last year with my dad and have never emerged from a gig so drained, sweaty, alcohol-infused and just generally disorientated.

I'll definitely be going this year with my pops again, and I'll be attending the Birmingham one. Sunday, May 4th. £28.50. Sticky floor and smell of hot leather comes as standard.

This year's fully-confirmed line-up is: The Damned + Buzzcocks + The Rezillos + The Beat + Mad Sin + GBH + Zounds + Spunge + UK Subs + Deadline + The Grit + Drongos For Europe + Dragster + 4ft Fingers + New York Alcoholic Anxiety Attack + Stevie Nix and The Cute Lepers.

Captain Sensible is sure to fuck up and make it look like it's all good fun just like he does every year. And fuck me, it's GBH!! Ooooh I really can't wait!

Any other 'Whores interested in joining me for some over-priced beer, crafty spliffs and arm-flinging boot-stomping carnage? I'd love to meet some of you and this would be an epic event to do so. I'll be the kid in the Nazi Punks Fuck Off shirt.

I would, but I fear being there with my long hair and Frank Zappa t-shirt I wouldn't last ten seconds, plus there's the fact I live nowehere near Birmingham.

If you were willing to come down the the Bristol one...
