Ron Watts - 100 Club Promoter, R.I.P. aged 73

Colleen M Watts sent the following to GSTSP:
Ron Watts"Very sad to hear news that our friend, legendary promoter Ron Watts has passed away. He was pivotal in original punk scene, being the first to spot the Sex Pistols potential when saw them as support group at Wycombe art college and booked them for his 100 Club in London. He went on to put on the famous first punk festival there, also many fantastic groups like The Jam, Clash, Damned, Banshees etc have him to thank for putting them on first. He famously wrestled a flick knife off Sid Vicious once !! Ron put on the Pistols and above groups plus many more at our local Nags Head and Town Hall in High Wycombe at height of punk and took cash off us at the door many times, and for that thank him greatly. With emergence of internet we got re acquainted,he remembered me and missus and swapped stories, he will be missed, a lovely man, R.I.P Ron Watts."

SEX PISTOLS – LIVE ‘76 4CD / 4LP / Digital (MFiT & Standard)
On 19th August Universal Music Catalogue will release 4CD and 4LP sets of Sex Pistols – Live ’76
Sex Pistols Live.
The collection comprises four revolutionary live recordings – all officially sanctioned by the Sex Pistols and professionally mastered at Abbey Rd Studios and released in full for the first time.
CD1 4th June – 1976: Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester
1. Did You No Wrong 2. No Lip 3. Seventeen 4. Stepping Stone 5. New York 6. Whatcha Gonna Do About It 7. Submission 8. Satellite 9. No Feelings 10. No Fun 11. Substitute 12. Pretty Vacant 13. Problems
Disc one features the truly legendary Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester concert, which took place on 4th June, 1976, arguably one of the most important music concerts ever. Set up by Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto (who were inspired to form Buzzcocks after travelling to Welwyn Garden City to watch the Pistols), the show was witnessed by people including future Joy Division/New Order members, Morrissey, Mark E. Smith (The Fall) and Tony Wilson, the concert changed the course of music history, with the Pistols inspiring a generation of musical mavericks.
CD2 29th August – 1976: Screen on the Green, Islington
1. Anarchy in the UK 2. I Wanna Be Me 3. Seventeen 4. New York 5. No Lip 6. Stepping Stone 7. Satellite 8. Submission 9. Liar 10. No Feelings 11. Substitute 12. Pretty Vacant 13. Problems 14. Did You No Wrong 15. No Fun
Closer to the band’s London roots, the second disc comprises the ‘Midnight Special’ concert, which was recorded on 29th August, 1976 at Screen on the Green, Islington – More widely known for its cult cinema screenings. This famous gig saw the Pistols supported by The Clash and Buzzcocks. Legend has it that journalists and record company staff attempting to gain entry were reported to have been barred entry.
CD3 17th September 1976: HM Prison, Chelmsford
1. Anarchy in the UK (incomplete) 2. I Wanna Be Me 3. Seventeen 4. New York 5. No Lip 6. Stepping Stone 7. Satellite 8. Submission 9. Liar 10. No Feelings (incomplete) 11. Substitute 12. No Fun 13. Pretty Vacant 14. Problems 15. Anarchy in the UK (encore) 16. Did You No Wrong
Disc three is the live show that took place at Chelmsford Maximum Security Prison on 17th September 1976. Of the four recordings that make up this collection, this was the only one ‘officially’ recorded on 4 track ¼ inch tape, by the band’s live soundman Dave Goodman. Reportedly the idea of the band’s manager Malcolm McLaren, who claimed it was part of his strategy to have the band play more interesting, unusual non rock ‘n’ roll places, no doubt in an attempt to create controversy. John Rotten Lydon rose to the occasion by being his provocative best, as can be heard on the between songs banter. 
CD4 25th September – 1976: 76 Club, Burton on Trent 1. Anarchy In The UK 2. I Wanna Be Me 3. Seventeen 4. New York 5. No Lip 6. Stepping Stone 7. Satellite 8. Submission 9. Liar 10. Substitute 11. No Feelings 12. No Fun 13. Pretty Vacant 14. Problems
The collection is completed with a concert that originally made its way around as a fans bootleg, recorded on 25th September – 1976: 76 Club, Burton on Trent.

Officially released in full for the first time. Sex Pistols – Live ’76 is the first time all four of these concerts have been collected together in sequence. It will be available on 4CD and 4LP sets (as well as digital download). It features related photographs and an original facsimile Sex Pistols Glitterbest press kit from the era.

PiL Wrexham 2016
PiL in Wrexham last night
Another brilliant show in an airy college venue. Performance-wise it even eclipsed Coventry. PiL's sense of theatre, their stage presence & re-interpretation of songs blew this crowd away.
John: "The atmosphere is different in here, but it works." And it did. John finished the evening by turning the microphone on the crowd & asking us to shout our best insults at him. John also gave us a reminder who to blame for the wars, & it wasn't the soldiers.
Back to the opening night of the UK leg, a couple of punters from The Copper Rooms show have been in touch with their thoughts.
Rob Gwilliam: "Possibly one of the best gigs I've been to in the last 40 years! Could happily have watched another couple of hours. As John said at the end 'we do this because we love it' and it showed."
Jason Insley: "They were brilliant - as good as they’ve ever been since 2009."

Steve Jones Lonely Boy Video Feature

Steve Jones: Lonely Boy Press
William Heinemann is to publish the autobiography of Sex Pistols rock guitarist Steve Jones. Publisher Jason Arthur acquired UK Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, to Jones’s Lonely Boy from Caspian Dennis at Abner Stein on behalf of Foundry Literary + Media. Jones, who co-founded the Sex Pistols in 1972 with his schoolmate Paul Cook and Wally Nightingale, uses the book to tell his story "for the very first time".
It charts Jones' humble beginnings on the streets of Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush, West London, and describes the sadness of never knowing his dad while suffering abuse at the hands of his stepfather. It also talks about the sense of "purpose" the glam art rock scene gave Jones, influenced by David Bowie and Roxy Music, and how music and fashion "saved" him from a potential life of crime spent in remand centres and prison.
From the Kings Road of the early seventies, through the years of the Sex Pistols, Punk Rock and the recording of Never Mind the Bollocks to his battles with alcohol, heroin and sex addiction, the book is touted as "the story of an unlikely guitar hero who, with the Sex Pistols, changed history".
Lonely Boy is written with music journalist and author Ben Thompson and will be published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the release of the Sex Pistols first record, ‘Anarchy in the UK’, and his infamous confrontation on Bill Grundy’s Today programme.
Arthur said: "I couldn’t be more excited to be publishing Steve’s autobiography in November. It’s not only a must-read for any fan of popular music, brilliantly and compellingly told, but also a brazenly honest and disturbing psychological study of a boy who, against the odds, was destined to transform twentieth-century culture and kick-start a social revolution."
Lonely Boy will be published in hardback, by William Heinemann, and as an e-book on 17th November 2016. A Windmill paperback will follow in October 2017

Steve Jones Autobiography
November 2016

Hardcover: 352 pages
Publisher: William Heinemann (17 Nov. 2016)

Steve Jones 1977The true untold story of the Sex Pistols from the man who formed the band and kick-started Punk.

Ask anyone who knows about music and they’ll tell you: without Steve Jones punk rock would not exist. This is not hyperbole. The prototypical street urchin turned Sex Pistols guitarist was the sole inspiration and creator of the punk movement which began shaking the culture in late 1970s London.

His autobiography presents never before told stories of the sexual abuse Jones suffered at the hands of his stepfather, stories of petty crime he perpetrated as a young boy, the sadness from never knowing his real father, the early days as a Pistol, and how the hell a band with one album meant so much to so many people.

Sex Pistols event for York. Archaeologist John Schofield from the University of York was part of the team that documented the artworks made by the band during their time living in Denmark Street in Soho, which drew comparisons between the significance of the graffiti and prehistoric cave paintings. Prof Schofield will discuss the Sex Pistols and their cultural contribution, as well as the reaction to this archaeological investigation. He will also reveal what John Lydon thought of it all, and ask whether something so recent can be of archaeological interest.
