    I went to Butlins, Skegness this weekend on an 80's revival weekend.

    Playing there was Toyah Wilcox, who was good to begin with but her new stuff wasn't up to much.

    On Saturday night Dr & The Medics took to the stage who were absolutely brilliant.

    But to top it off Bad Manners followed, all their ska hits! Took me right back to the early 80's, dancing and pogo'ing in the local youth club. I have never seen such a large band enjoy their performance as much as Buster Bloodvessel and his crew!

    If you ever get the chance, highly recommend must see.

    For those who have never heard of them click the following link, in the uk this band definately defined a generation.

    I've been a Bad Manners fan for over twenty years, though I never had a chance to see them live.

    I read a few years ago that Buster Bloodvessel lost quite a bit of weight due to medical reasons.

    Here is the first Bad Manners song that I remembering hearing from them. It got me hooked:
