Roxy Club again!! 30 years ago in December 1977, Roxy Club owner and kindly father figure to young bands, Kevin St John was planning a top notch 48 hour Christmas Party AND a second live album too boot that would feature among others the Crabs, UK Subs, Bears, Open Sore & Blitz. 30 years later here's me recounting his dastardly deeds and hey getting another plug in for the Roxy Club Punk history book! And why the fuck not eh?...there's still time to buy that parent, relative or pet a little something for their stocking or to welcome in 2008. Details below...

	In March 1977 the Roxy Club got a bit of a coup when they hosted an American week featuring the Heartbreakers, Wayne County and Cherry Vanilla. The Heartbreakers had already played the Roxy and had shown the nascent British punkers a professionalism, tightness and songmanship and a pedigree traced to the legendary new York Dolls. Wayne County and Cherry Vanilla now offered a more exotic display from the legendary new York scene of Max's and a more theatrical and sexual show. They didn't disappoint! Live those nights with recollections from Ms County, Cherry Vanilla and Zecca Esquibel

Jayne County Here you go right before your naked steaming eyes we give you an unadulterated lesson from the good book of the superstar that was Wayne and is Jayne. What a life and times this girl has lived through and what an extraordinary personality. Funny and abrasive but never boring and hugely entertaining. Make what you will of her comments on Bowie, Punk, Sex, music and all points in between! Click to read interview | Electric Chairs Punk77 Entry

Cherry Vanilla Zecca Esquibel Whether you like the music or not Cherry Vanilla was a sassy world wise singer who landed up on our fair punky shores offering a highly sexual show and a dose of punky attitude. In this interview she lifts the lid of the Police, sex and Punk rock in the UK. Click here As if that wasn't enough Zecca Esquibel the keyboardist gives his take on events featuring the Roxy Club, violence and being gay in those far off punky times.
