On Saturday 12th August 2006 I went to see The Damned who were playing at the Guild Hall in Gloucester. I arrived late for the concert which is just as well as I was not impressed with what I saw of Devilish Presley, who were the support act.

However, when THE DAMNED came on stage I along with the whole audience went wild. The Band which now consists of:-

• CAPTAIN SENSIBLE - Guitar / Vocals
• PINCH - Drums
• DAVE VANIAN - Vocals / Theremin
• STU WEST - Bass
• MONTY OXYMORON - Keyboards

Played with all the vigor that has been associated with THE DAMNED for years.

The Set:

I found the comments and antics of Captain Sensible very amusing, my favourite tracks were "Eloise" and "Alone Again Or".

I now look forward to seeing THE DAMNED again.
