You really don't know what you're missing !!!

| Bad Manners on stage |
ENERGY levels were high at Chicago Rock, Trowbridge last night as 80s group Bad Manners performed.
The Ska band, fronted by Buster Bloodvessel, are currently touring around the UK and Europe.
Chicago Rock manager Jim Treherne said: "Everyone there seemed to enjoy it. There was a real party atmosphere. How Buster Bloodvessel keeps up his energy level is amazing.
"They played for about an hour and a half and I was surprised at the amount of energy they had.
"We had about 300 people there. It was a real mixed audience but there were a lot of older gentlemen from the mod era. Bad Manners formed in the 1970s and their hits include My Girl Lollipop, Lip Up Fatty and Special Brew. The wiltshire times / JULIE
THE PALACE BRIDGWATER 19.04.07
The mighty Bad Manners came onto the stage minus the big man and got the crowd jumping from the off with Echo 4 + 2.
Once the crowd were up to a suitable frenzy Buster stepped onstage and the room went mental.
This Is Ska he bellowed then the skanking began Buster and the boys performed all hit after hit : My Girl Lollipop, Fatty Fatty, Lorraine, Feel Like Jumping, Skaville UK, Walking On Sunshine, Just A Feeling, El Pussycat, Ne-Ne Na-Na Na -Na Nu-Nu, Sally Brown, Skinhead Girl, Wooly Bully, Inner London Violence, Special Brew, Don't Knock The Bald Head.
Their encore was Lip Up Fatty followed by the stomping and skank pleasing Can Can.
What a night!!! One thing about Bad Manners is not only are you in for a treat from this superb ska band but their energy and stage prescence is amazing.
If you weren't sweating by the end of the gig I'm sorry there was something seriously wrong with you.
A fantastic night as always from Buster Bloodvessel and Bad Manners. ALLIE & PETE
THE ALBION WIMBOURNE FEASTFORALL 9th/10th june
BAD MANNERS needed no introduction and by the time they hit the stage the Albion Hotel was absolutely packed to the rafters.Instantly the band started up with "Echo 4-2" the whole of the crowd just started bouncing up and down ,the atmosphere was just amazing, people of all ages with big smiles on their faces having a brilliant time.
Buster Bloodvessel arrived on stage looking much slimmer and healthier than has for a long time , he was given a huge welcome by the Wimborne crowd. I always feel when I see this band they always give 100% , the guitarist Simon plays each gig as it is his last which is so good to see, he even crowd surfed while still playing his corded guitar.
Buster even got a few young children up on the stage during an instrumental number to dance and play bongos.They entertained the crowd while he was having a rest , for sure there were a few proud fathers out there who loved seeing their offspring up on stage , the children really did not want to leave when Buster returned as they were having such a great time showing off their skills,. "This is Ska" , "Lip up Fatty" , "Lorraine" and "My Girl Lollipop all were played to the delight of the crowd. The dancing was fast and furious , despite this everybody was looking after everybody else without a hint of trouble. A brilliant end to a great day of Ska. sound of the suburbs / chinners
