We grew up playing all kinds of card games, chess, backgammon, you name it. “Where did you learn to play cards like this?” John asked, shaking his head. It was all becoming comfortable, as if she was part of the group. Sometimes he’d make it sound like it was replying to a quip, or even laughing. The boys were discussing the show, some changes they might make, while Jimmy absently strummed his guitar. His bouts of mock indignation made her laugh and settle in nicely. “I’ve been known to hold my own,” Michelle shot back, suppressing a grin.įor the next hour, she proceeded to absolutely throttle him. “I should warn you, I don’t often lose,” he said playfully. “I do!” She nodded, smiling broadly as John began to deal. “Care to have a go, then? Do you know Rummy?” Relieved to have a diversion, she quickly responded, “Oh yes, I love to.” Noticing her interest, he asked, “Do you play cards?” While Robert made a small plate, she watched John shuffling the cards. “Some fruit and a little water would be wonderful.” “Would you like me to get you something, love?” Robert asked, motioning to an adjacent table covered with different refreshments. “Occasionally … oh, you know … they come and go,” Jimmy responded. “Do other people travel with you?” she asked him. God he was hard to read, Michelle thought, not entirely sure that he liked her at all. I hope you enjoy your adventure.” His mouth formed a small smile. Jimmy was silently assessing her, his eyes kind of cloudy. “Such a pleasure it will be to have some genteel companionship for a change.” “Good man, there!” he yelped, roughly patting Robert on the back. Michelle quickly swallowed as the boys all looked to her at once. “Michy’s going to stay with us for a while,” Robert announced. “He’s been the perfect gentleman,” she beamed. Jimmy looked over to her, “Has Robert treated you well, then?” His eyes were less warm. “Well, I’d say it’s been quite the experience thus far,” she replied with a laugh. “I trust you had a comfortable evening.” No trace of sarcasm, just genuine warmth. “Good afternoon, Michelle,” John greeted her, shuffling a deck of cards. “Percy’s finished, eh Meeeeechy,” Bonzo cackled, his laughter filling up the room. Then grinned, “There’s my Michy.” Wait, she thought, how did he know that? Of course, Melody must have called her that on the phone. He led her to the table and gave her a soft kiss. Sensing her nervousness, Robert jumped up to wrap his arm around her. Things quietened as she walked in and her stomach started to flutter. She could hear the boys chatting and laughing. She made her way down a small hallway to the room they were in the night before. She stood at the door for a moment with her hand on the knob. Where’s a bottle of Jack when you need it, she laughed to herself. She realized that she’d never really had any interaction with them while sober. She used Robert’s brush to tame her still damp hair, all the while working up the courage to face everyone. With over 12 line up changes since Punk pundits worldwide have sited this change to be the best yet with the sincerest force since the days of 77 Punk.Oh, I look a fright, Michelle thought to herself as she pulled on the white dress and tried to straighten some of the creases.

On the Bass guitar we have John Woodward who was a feature on Bass in the Mod band Long Tall Shorty as well as the known Oi band The Gonads. On Lead Guitar we have Al Campbell who joined the band in 2009, he has a pristine pedigree in Punk after serving 13 years with UK SUBS and playing with both Marky Ramone and Jayne County and the Electric Chairs. The band currently features along with Tim V, the bands longest serving drummer at 30 years behind the kit for SHAM 69. Tim V’s reign saw him take the band from its lowest point to get it touring worldwide with 3 successful selling albums along with World Tours and major festivals…and he has clocked up more shows than any other previous line up.

The band had many line up changes but the most notable was Jimmy Pursey’s departure following his sacking in 2006, in which he was immediately replaced by the now vocalist Tim V. The band was formed in 1975, and with hits such as BORSTAL BREAKOUT and HEY LITTLE RICH BOY being performed in 76-77, the band went on to have others such as HURRY UP HARRY, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES and the anthem IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED. Wanted to express their feelings with words and music. A collection of songs that are not all crash band and wallop, the band Sham 69 released a new album end of April 2021 called “Black Dog” (TREATMENT/ OMP).
