Many Paisley Punk fans were looking forward to the Sham 69 gig at Rocknrolla’s on Saturday, unfortunately it has been cancelled. Boab Williamson of Rocknrolla’s explained: “I opened an email to discover one from Sham 69’s management team to advise us that JP has caught Covid. We obviously wish Jimmy all the best and hope he feels better soon. We are working with the management team just now for a rescheduled date and will announce asap”.

It has been a bit of a blow but there is still plenty going at Rocknrolla’s starting with Purple Hearts on Friday. Purple Hearts (PH2) are an English mod revival band, formed in 1977 in Romford, eastern Greater London.
