Ballad of a Teesside boy

What Our Listeners Say

Glen Matlock
Holy Diver, Stockport, Manchester

Founding member and original base player of British punk phenomenon Sex Pistols, Glen Matlock and his band kick their tour off at Stockports holy diver, a great bar and venue I have never had the pleasure of going to before.

After an amazing show from support act the Paul Austin Band, Matlock and Co. took to the stage blasting through an array of Solo tracks, covers and even a track by Matlock's old bans the Rich Kids and a Pistols tune in pretty vacant.

Overall a decent night of rock and roll, and I like to think of this gig as a little appetizer before seeing him perform along side Steve Jones, Paul Cook an dFrank Carter as oart of The Pistols next month in Glasgow.
