This is The Sex Pistols Experience, sending The 100 Club hurtling back to 1976.
At the end of the evening they became Public Image Limited and were joined by original PIL (and early Clash) guitarist Keith Levene...
The musical likeness of both The Sex Pistols Experience and support act, Clash tribute band Rebel Truce, was spot on. Physically, in gestures and stances as much as looks, "Johnny" and "Sid" from the former and "Joe Strummer" from the latter were the stand-outs, Johnny in particular. At one point, however, Sid lost sneer concentration and turned into 50's rocker Joe Brown...
Here's "Joe" and "Paul" from Rebel Truce...

Hi there, I read about your blog in the Metro today and wanted to congratulate you on the achievement! Well done! What intrigued me was that you managed to enjoy and discover so much around London that was mostly free. At the start of the year I embarked on a similar quest to only go to gigs that were free as I became disillusioned with rip off booking/ticket prices and then the overpriced/overcrowded bar and venue.
Keep it up! Your children will really thank you for the imagination and memories you've weaved into their lives.
Hey, thanks, that's really nice! How's your quest going?
Also read the article in the Evening Standard - good effort on all this & hope the final 2 days go well - cheers
Thank you!
Hi Hugo, congrats on your achievement - well done mate. I too have recently re-discovered music which has always been my bliss too.
You spoke to me about it ages ago on the Victoria Wood 'gig' at Brentfords' ground - it seems to have gone by so quickly.
Another nail-biting finish to the season for LUFC-so what's new!!! Hope to see you soon, take care Martin.
Cheers Martin! Glad you're rediscovering music too. I'm not doing the film work anymore (probably!) so won't see you on a set any time soon. Drop me your mob number to hugosimms@uwclub.net and maybe we'll hook up for beer and music one day...and a promotion celebration...!
