On Lead Guitar we have Paul Brightman, who joined for the band’s US Tour in 2016 and on Bass Al Campbell who joined the band in 2009, he has a pristine pedigree in Punk after serving 13 years with UK SUBS and playing with both Marky Ramone and Jayne County and the Electric Chairs. Unique…yes of course as the only UK Punk act to have toured China…unless you count WHAM in the Punk genre.
The band currently features along with Tim V, the bands longest-serving drummer at 36 years behind the kit for SHAM 69. Tim V’s reign saw him take the band from its lowest point to get it touring worldwide with 6 successful selling albums along with World Tours and major festivals…and he has clocked up more shows than any other previous lineup. The band had many lineup changes but the most notable was Jimmy Pursey’s departure following his sacking in 2006, in which he was immediately replaced by the now vocalist Tim V. With hits such as BORSTAL BREAKOUT and HEY LITTLE RICH BOY being performed in 76-77, the band went on to have others such as HURRY UP HARRY, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES and the anthem IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED. Neil Harris was along with the other original members Albie Slider, Johnny Goodfornothing, Billy Bostik performing live with such hits as Borstal Breakout and Hey Little Rich Boy prior to the band’s second lineup change in late 1977. Neil Harris who formed the band with Jimmy Pursey in 1975.
The band, which was formed in 1975, to which its original founding member and guitarist Neil Harris remained in this lineup, until his untimely death this 4 years ago.
