Johnny Rotten leads his Sex Pistols at the Brixton Academy for this 2007 concert marking 30 years since the release of their seminal album, Never Mind The Bo****ks.

Their classic hits are punctuated by political rhetoric, Johnny Rotten style: “We always told ‘em. A Pistols crowd is all sorts. All races, all creeds, all colours. As long as it’s workingclass England, I’m ‘avin’ it!”

The oh-so-pretty frontman is at his flamboyant best. What he lacks in eloquence he makes up for with an infectious energy and a passionate message. While a good portion of the 5,000-strong crowd are Abercrombie-wearing teenagers from the affluent suburbs and perhaps not the working-class, antiestablishment groups Johnny once knew, the hardcore original fans, now middle-aged men with fluorescent
mohawks, are as passionate about the band they fell in love with in the 70s as ever. With St George’s flags flying, There’ll Always Be An England is a message that the sell-out crowd patriotically embraces.
