Vic Godard & Subway Sect, The Fallen Leaves, The Girl With The Replaceable Head, DJ Trevor Johnson

‘30 Odd Years’ after Subway Sect were formed to play the 100 Club Punk Festival, London in September 1976, the September 2014 formation featuring Vic Godard (Vocals/Guitar), Mark Braby (Bass), Kevin Younger (Keyboards/Guitar), Yusuf B’ layachi (Guitar) and guest Sexual Object Ian Holford (Drums) takes the Subway Sect ’30 Odd Years’ tour to the Star and Shadow Cinema for what promises to be a memorable fourth ‘Children Of Godard’ night in Newcastle dedicated to the influenced and influences of ‘The Greatest Living Englishman’, Vic Godard.

Support comes from The Fallen Leaves; a band whose hatred of one another is intense; but it is out of this creative conflict that pop music played with passion rather than precision is born.

Also on the bill is The Girl With The Replaceable Head and DJ Trevor Johnson (Another Music In A Different Kitchen).

The show will feature screenings of two Vic Godard & Subway Sect related shorts.
