Bad Manners, but plenty of great songs at Bedford Esquires

Bad Manners are returning to Bedford for a night of full on Ska antics, in the very intimate setting of Bedford Esquires for a pre Xmas treat!

Last year's show sold out on a cold Tuesday night, and previously the band has commanded at Bedford Corn Exchange with more than 800 people skanking in the room, so advance tickets are advised for the show on Thursday (November 30).

Bad Manners quickly became the novelty favourites of the Ska movement through their bald, enormous-bodied frontman Buster Bloodvessel's on-stage antics, earning early exposure through their Top of The Pops TV exploits and an appearance in the live film documentary, Dance Craze.

They were banned from Italian TV when Buster showed his bottom to a concert audience, having been told that the Pope was watching on TV!

Bad Manners were at their peak most popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, during a period when other ska revival bands, such as Madness and The Specials, The Beat and The Selecter, filled the charts.

In all, they spent 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart between 1980 and 1983 and have continued as a worldwide popular touring live act to this day.

Some of Bad Manners’ more notable hits include “My Girl Lollipop”, “Lip Up Fatty”, “Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu”, “Lorraine”, “Just A Feeling”, “Walking In The Sunshine”, “Can Can” and “Special Brew”.

Tickets are £20 in advance. Book yours here now.
