A Punk Rock Christmas Cracker
If you prefer White Riot to White Christmas, Tomorrow’s Girls to Jingle Bells, and Do Anything You Wanna Do to Deck the Halls, then get ready for a tinsel takedown.
After their summer smash, Class of ’79 return to La Belle Angele this December with local favourites the Gimme Gimme Gimmes for a punk-powered festive blowout.
Featuring members of The Rezillos, Eddie and the Hot Rods, UK Subs and Department S, Class of ’79 are a salute to a time when music was raw, real, and rebellious.
At their raucous Scottish debut in July, the band’s time-served veterans - Steve Crittall, Phil Thompson, Simon Bowley, and Mike Lea - blazed through a blistering set of punk, new wave and 2-Tone classics. Now, after recent opening slots supporting the Buzzcocks and Vapours, they’re back in the Capital by popular demand.
And kicking the night off again are the Gimme Gimme Gimmes with their riotous punk parodies and madcap mash-ups, where iconic punk intros collide with much-loved Scottish singalongs in a wonderfully chaotic style.
Whether you’re a diehard punk, an 80s new-waver, or just after a great night out with terrific tunes, Class of ’79 and the Gimme Gimme Gimmes are back to bring you the perfect high-octane pre-Christmas hoolie.
Silent Night – nae chance!
