Next up, The Skids! A band that I never really explored beyond the handful of singles that I had. On getting back together they had something of a stuttering restart but in the last few years have been touring heavily and just as importantly producing new music. Their most recent album, Destination Dusseldorf, being released in 2023.
Shy and retiring frontman, Richard Jobson, has always been something of a raconteur and he brings his ability to talk to the stage to the extent that these days a Skids show is part gig, part stand up routine, but he does it very, very well indeed. That's not to take anything away from the music. I think that perhaps the Skids music was a little underated. Maybe critics struggled to see beyond a sometimes outragiously coiffured, cricket whites wearing singer who loved to cut the rug at every opportunity!
They will go down a storm!
