@REDPUNK1VINYL i heard of them in NME magazine, and i wondered if they were the same band.. evidently not. i couldn't tell if they were just a rip off of this band or something totally different..
@Generation1Terrorist Yes,I've heard the name Courteeners aswell but they're nothing to do with this original 1977 punk band whom,incidentally,have just reformed.
The CORTINAS have reformed and will be playing REBELLION PUNK FESTIVAL in Blackpool August 2012,they will also play a warm up gig on July 28th at the Bristol FLEECE.
@REDPUNK1VINYL Fuckin 'ell I was delivering sunday papers wiv Sid's funeral on the front page! Quite funny cos I was making lots of extra money keeping issues back for mates to cut out and keep for posterity. Didn't keep any for my own!
I think another local band "Social sekurity" was also on that Locarno line up. The Pigs are back together and are set to play Rebellion in blackpool in 2010,got a clip of them on my other site "REDPUNK1",filmed at a recent gig.
Yeah, they seem to be one of the forgotten bands of 77....Nick Sheppard's got a bit of a Wilko Johnson sound, raw, sharp, doesn't fuck about.......shame that The Clash line up, he was in, were judged by that Rhodes' debacle 'Cut The Crap', cos they were mint live at the time.
Cool band men!
