So Barry could coach the England team to get more crosses in the box. I doubt that. But he does do a great impression of a pissed, pub bore.

Odd question to ask as I'm a big fan of their music particularly around MGE, Strawberries and The Black Album and I saw them a couple of times in the early 90s and it was fun. But having seen a couple of classic punk/new wave bands recently (The Stranglers/Buzzcocks) I went away hugely disappointed. Not really much in the way of engagement with the crowd and it all felt oh so tired.

I've caught some footage recently of The Damned with Vanian basically wandering around the stage singing 'oh yeah" every five seconds and looking rather bored.

I'm nearing my 60's and probably the band won't be around much longer but maybe it's time to just enjoy the albums, memories etc and leave the live stuff to real die hard fans?
