The Skids Return to The Bungalow + Live Music Line-Up Across Paisley This Weekend

After 2 sold out gigs last year The Skids are back at The Bungalow tonight and this is a must-see gig. The Skids are not just another punk band; they are creatively ambitious and still perform true to their core beliefs for their hard-won fans. It is obvious to anyone who has seen them recently they simply love playing live and their show is as energetic as it was years ago. How do they do it? Richard explained “The answers very simple – Don’t over think it – Just do it. Enjoy every minute of it. Play the songs like it might be the last time. Give it everything”

Although the line-up has changed the punchy tunes and the ever-young Jobson is still the same. Check Eventbrite for tickets. 6pm – A meet n greet audience with Richard Jobson (Limited availability) 7pm – General Admission.
