John has just been confirmed as support for The Wonder Stuff April dates.
The band are touring the country performing the classic “Hup” album in its entirity.

“I saw The Wonder Stuff at Dingwalls in 1986/7 they weren’t signed but remember thinking that’s one fucking tight band!! It was like getting hit by a wall of guitars and madness. Angry and humorous at the same time. Clash meets the Stones!. When Eight legged Groove Machine came out I thought Yeh you got it guys. Still got the record. Still sounds cool. Supporting them is going to be a trip.”
