1977 revisited by punks across the North with tribute bands and 45th anniversary DJ set for Jubilee Bank Holiday
Mutant Movement asked followers to vote for their favourite tracks of 1977 in preparation for a mini-tour starting in Leeds on June 2 with tribute bands Sex Pistols Exposé and The Clashed.
Both bands went down a storm at The Wardrobe three years ago and are recognised as the best tributes going, covering the back catalogue of The Clash and Sex Pistols with uncanny authenticity, Johnny Rotter even gets the crowd wound up with banter and insults!
