SUJ : Punk & New Wave (1977-1979)
It's SUJ theme night #29, and this time we're going be delving back into history to recall some of those glorious punk and new wave singles of the late 1970s.
As has become our custom, this will be a Southampton Ukulele Jam twist on the vinyl listening party. We'll be listening to each of the original songs on the album, and then the song together, as a ukulele jam. Getting a sense of how it was done, and then jamming together, putting SUJ's very unique spin on each tune.
Setlist (running order tbc) is as follows:
- Anarchy In The UK - Sex Pistols
- Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones
- Do Anything You Wanna Do - Eddie & The Hot Rods
- Down In The Tube Station At Midnight - The Jam
- Everybody’s Happy Nowadays - Buzzcocks
- Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie & The Banshees
- I Wanna Be Sedated - Ramones
- If The Kids Are United - Sham 69
- Jimmy Jimmy - The Undertones
- New Rose - The Damned

We’ll be at our regular venue - The Cricketers Arms in Woolston. It’s just over the bridge, there’s some parking at the back of the pub, and there is also parking in the nearby Portsmouth Road Car Park.
