John Peel night with Vic Godard & Subway Sect, Piranhas 3D, The Fallen Leaves, The Shapes (acoustic)

Event information

To celebrate the life of the late, great DJ John Peel (30th August 1939-25th October 2004) a host of bands appear live upstairs at The Hydrant in Brighton

Subway Sect first played at the 100 Club Punk Festival in 1976 and recorded two Peel sessions. Vic Godard continued making music throughout four decades. Recent LP, 'We Come as Aliens' with influences from northern soul to punk has received great reviews. Original Sect bass player Paul Myers and Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook join the line-up at this gig.

Originally part of the Brighton punk scene, ska-influenced Piranhas recorded three Peel sessions and gained great success with "Tom Hark". Reformed in 2010 with originals Bob Grover & John Helmer, they've recently packed out venues and supported The Blockheads.

West London garage group The Fallen Leaves, featuring former members of Subway Sect, formed the same year Peelie died and we're sure he would've loved them. They've made two LPs, gigged around the UK, Europe and USA. Don't miss them if you're a Billy Childish or Subway Sect fan.

Leamington's finest, The Shapes, did one brilliant Peel session. Their 'Part of the Furniture' EP featured many times. For this event Seymour Bybuss (Ben Browton) and Tim Jee perform an acoustic set
