Saw the buzzcocks about 4-5yrs ago, they actually played in Chelmsford which nobody does these days! They were really good.

RIP Pete

Saw them about a year ago (as well as back in the day, in Chelmsford as it happens}. Last year Shelley didn't look particularly sprightly and Steve Diggle effectively fronted the band.

A sad loss, I remember going out and buying 'what do I get' the day it hit the shops. I don't recall doing that for any other single.

I wouldn't say he looked sprightly when I saw him but it was a good enough vocal performance and barring Iggy Pop (who was awesome) I've come to expect a less energetic set from aging rockers.

I was born in 81 so never got the opportunity to see them in their prime unfortunately.
 
Blimey, similarly I've met him a couple of times and been to many a gig over the years.

As well as the above, I used to listen to his late night show on Kiss FM and he did do a couple of nights at the club in the Westcliff Leisure Centre. Can't remember the name now for the life of me!
