Well it’s Friday and I’m glad we made it to the end of
the week. To celebrate for your listening enjoyment I have for you The
Professionals live from The 100 Club. Now for those of you who are unaware,
shame on you, The Professionals were the band that Paul Cook and Steve Jones
put together after the demise of the Sex Pistols. The gruesome twosome were
joined by Ray McVeigh and Paul Myers for the “I Didn’t See It Coming” album.
The band only lasted three years splitting up in the States in the spring of
1982 after turning down an opening spot offer from The Clash. The thought of
The Professionals reforming seemed as likely as David Cameron handing out Fifty
Pound notes to the homeless or Jeremy Corbyn singing the National Anthem. That
was until former Yo-Yo’s and Loyalties Bassist Tom Spencer stepped in to
replace the LA lifestyle loving Steve Jones and two dates were booked; The
Fleece in Bristol and The 100 Club three days later. And this dear friends is
the result.
