Class of '79

Class of '79 is a tribute show to the punk, new wave and ska era, performed by musicians who have played with several bands from that scene. It is staged at Alexander's Live in Chester.

Class of '79 is a tribute show that honours a period rather than a single artist: the punk, new wave and ska movement. Every musician in the line-up is a current or former member of bands from that scene, including the Rezillos, Eddie and the Hot Rods, UK Subs, The Selecter, The Vapors and Department S.

Rather than imitating one group, the show draws on the biggest hits from those associated bands'catalogues. It also includes tracks from the same era that are described as the soundtrack to listeners'own lives.

Alexander's Live is a concert and performance venue in Chester. The evening suits anyone who follows punk, new wave and ska and wants to hear songs from that movement performed by musicians connected to its original bands.
