The re-formed Skids have proven themselves to be a mighty live force since they got back together a couple of years ago. With a catalogue to die for, they kicked off with Animation, Richard Jobson still putting in a physical performance, while his voice remains strong and passionate.
It was clear by the beaming smile on Richard Jobson’s face as he took to the stage, that he was going to enjoy himself and celebrate The Skids‘ legacy to a faithful and appreciative Liverpool gathering.
Scottish punk originals The Skids, back in action to mark the band's 40th anniversary, thrilled die-hard Black Country fans with a performance that showed just how well the music has lasted.
