taunton-hobbit Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 It seems that the bouncers got him, but the muso chose not to press charges.......... not necessarily a good move that, this sort of stunt needs stopping, but I can see that the singer might be frightened of repercussions........difficult. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yeh - had a few close ones myself. Have also run up against the theory that, "no matter what we don't involve the police". You might want to play there again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thankfully this sort of thing rarely happens on the punk/Oi scene, probably as the rest of the crowd would severely batter anyone stupid enough to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 The Daily Mirror claimed it happened at the world famous 'Caravan Club' Someone didnt proof read their story. 🙄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I’ve had more than a few of these over the years I have to admit, from beer throwing idiots (ruining pedal boards), to 2 band members fighting on stage (I know), to someone groping my now wife/then girlfriend and me stage diving on top of him knocking him out..... ah, those were the days Moral of the story, drink and drugs aren’t good for you.

Somebody groped my wife at a gig and SHE beat the crap out of them and threw them clean out of the front door.

Dom in Dorset Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I can't help thinking there's more to this than meets the eye. The look on the assailant's face, that's real anger not just a drunk getting out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 This illustrates another very good reason to use a P bass (see other extensive thread on the topic). They're simple, weighty, solidly made/hard to break and ideal for self-defence purposes 😉 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Fight back, every time with stuff like this. Stupid/drunk punters, who think musicians are there for them to abuse, are often shocked that a band member will leave the stage and pursue them half way across town...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have it on authority from mutual acquaintances that this was a fully unprovoked attack, and that the singer gave the offender a well deserved pasting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
