THE SKIDS 'UNPLUGGED'
The Skids featuring Richard Jobson, Bruce Watson and Jamie Watson announce a series of 'Unplugged' dates in support of their recent acoutsic album 'Peaceful Times'.
The Skids formed in 1977 in their home town of Dunfermline, Scotland by Richard Jobson, Stuart Adamson, Bill Simpson & Tom Kellichan. After releasing an independent single the band were played by John Peel, supported The Clash in concert and then were signed to Virgin Records in 1978. Their first singles were "Sweet Surburbia", "The Saints are Coming" and "Into the Valley" - the latter reaching the UK Top Ten in early 1979.
Their seminal debut album "Scared to Dance" came out in 1979 which was quickly followed by two chart singles - "Masquerade" and "Working for the Yankee Dollar". Both singles were taken from the Bill Nelson produced second album "Days in Europa". The album also featured new member Rusty Egan of Rich Kids & Visage fame after the departure of Tom Kellichan. The band released two more albums "The Absolute Game" (1980) and "Joy" (1981) before splitting.
Concert will be a fully seated performance.

The Skids
Post-Punk
The Skids are back with a vengeance! After a no1 album release with Destination Dusseldorf The band recently embarked on a sell-out UK tour. Who would have thought this possible. Certainly not singer and founder of the band Richard Jobson, who says:
‘I love every moment of performing Skids classics like Into the Valley and The Saints are Coming live alongside our new material. I could never have imagined this happening and have to pinch myself to show that it’s real.
Sharing the stage with boyhood heroes The Sex Pistols is one of the most exciting things to happen since we started playing again. They are my friends and without them I would never have wanted to start the Skids back in 1977 when I was only 16.
It’s going to be an amazing day in Glasgow, an unforgettable selection of iconic bands celebrating music that changed peoples lives.’
The Skids were formed in 1977 by Stuart Adamson and Richard Jobson in Dunfermline, Fife. They went onto record many top 20 songs such as Into the valley, The Saints are Coming and Working for the Yankee Dollar. Their songs have been covered by the likes of U2 and Greenday as well as being used at various football stadiums around the world. They came back with new material in 2018 that surprised everyone and was an instant success before they went onto to tour the UK and beyond to sell out crowds. They remain an influence on many bands and artists that followed in their wake such as Manic Street Preachers and Johnny Marr.
