THE DAMNED announce UK & Irish Tour to celebrate their 40th Anniversary of the release of debut single ‘New Rose’


THE DAMNED announce UK & Irish Tour to celebrate their 40th Anniversary of the release of debut single ‘New Rose’, the very first British punk release playing MANCHESTER – Academy on Friday 18th November 2016!

Punk legends THE DAMNED have announced a huge UK & Irish tour which takes in more than thirty towns and cities running until the end of the year heading to  Manchester – Academy on Friday 18th November.    

Celebrated as the most entertaining of the original punk bands, The Damned were the very first British band to release a punk single (their mighty debut “New Rose”, released on 22nd October 1976), the first to release an album (1977’s ‘Damned Damned Damned’) and also the first to tour America.  From the very first moment they started playing live in tiny punk clubs in 1976, The Damned quickly gained a reputation as a band who would always deliver an accomplished live set.    

Instrumental in kick-starting the original punk rock scene, The Damned have never been afraid to push themselves musically and throughout their years together have cruised through whatever areas of progressive, psychedelic, goth and pop rock that take their fancy.  

Always unforgettable, The Damned continue to wave the flag for originality, stick two fingers up to mediocrity and celebrate a DIY punk ethos in the face of plastic entertainment and scripted reality.   Original members Dave Vanian & Captain Sensible never expected to still be doing it 40 years later, but here they are in town for one night only – as their loyal following will attest, all simply because they are still an incredible live band who sound as fresh and exciting as they did back in 1976.

To cap their incredible 40th Anniversary year, which has already seen the band deliver a blistering three-hour set at a completely sold-out London Royal Albert Hall show this summer,  to see The Damned live – will be a night out you will remember for a very long time.

David Vanian - Vocals
Captain Sensible - Guitar

A Visit To Urban Coffee Lounge Queensferry

Those who know me well will know my deep passion for good cake!! I call it a passion because I just love cake, but with good cake has to come amazing coffee. So when I was contacted by Richard Lavender who told me he had recently opened a coffee lounge in Queensferry. I was keen to check the place out. When I told Radio Deeside's main man Barry Dale about the visit he quickly pulled rank expressing how he had to come along and also check out the cake selection!! On arriving at Urban Coffee Lounge I quickly noticed how spotlessly clean the place was, everything neatly in its place. The smell of coffee hit me just as I reached the counter, I opted for the cappuccino, Barry, on the other hand, decided on a nice mug of tea with one eye closely on the cakes!!! There is a choice of seating area's within the coffee lounge as well as a seated area outside, The traditional table and chairs also lounge style chairs with coffee table or there is a bar style seated area with h...
