Mekons 1977

Marc Riley has a live session from Mekons 1977.

Mekons 1977 in session tonight, Jon Lanford has reformed the original band for this session and produced a new album, with the old new line up. It's complicated, you better tune in for an explanation.

Suffice to say Jon's been touring with a new line up of the Mekons for a few years now but he's managed to get the original 1977 line up together, what a man. So we can all regress to the late 70's and experience some good old fashioned Punk Rock.
