Saw Eddie and the Hotrods earlier this year when they were supporting Stiff Little Fingers at Norwich. Knew some of their material but can't say I was a fan however he gave an energetic performance at the same time as not looking too great either.

RIP.

A particularly British phenomenon 70s pub rock. Much better than punk that eventually killed it.

"Do anything you want to do"  is a brilliant song.

RIP Barrie Masters.
