In 2024 the band find themselves, like everyone, trying to get back to normal having just completed a sell-out European tour in January. The band released their 7th original album TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH which followed BLACK DOG back in 2021, which the band wanted to reflect in some way the events and happenings without the boring cliches.
The band was formed in 1975, and its original founding member and guitarist Neil Harris remained in this line up, until his untimely death 6 years ago.
Neil Harris formed the band with Jimmy Pursey in 1975. Neil Harris along with the other original members Albie Slider, Johnny Good-for-nothing and Billy Bostik were performing live with hits such as Borstal Breakout and Hey Little Rich Boy prior to the bands second line up change in late 1977.
With hits such as BORSTAL BREAKOUT and HEY LITTLE RICH BOY being performed in 76-77, Sham 69 went on to have other successes such as HURRY UP HARRY, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES and the anthem IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED.
Sham 69 has had many line-up changes, the most notable of which was Jimmy Pursey’s departure following his sacking in 2006, after which he was immediately replaced by the now vocalist Tim V.
