I saw a great Rockabilly band last Saturday night at a pub in North London called The Runaway Boys. A 3 piece outfit. A Gretch with a bigsby into a Fender amp not sure which one as I was more into the listening and Beer! A double bass which the bloke was standing on like your bass player does and the drums. They did a few Stray Cat numbers very well, plus all the old rock and roll classics, plus a rock and roll version of The Clash's 'I Fought The Law' which was well cool! :D

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to find out some more about them on youtube and/or myspace.
-
Me too, as I'd love to see them again. Got me gassing for a Gretch now!
The sound is fantastic.

Blimey their from Sweden!!! :o :o
Well I never! This pub was only the Red Lion on The Hertford Road in Enfield. A real dump of an area, where I grew up. The pub landlord has done a great job with this pub though and has some really good bands on every Saturday night.

:D Yer that is good. But they all look like there 12 yrs old !
Oh and " I fought the law" wasn`t written by the clash as they did a cover of it. I cant remeber the name of the original version maybe 38th will know.

Yes they do look young! I think that video was a few years ago as they looked a it older the other night and their quifs were bigger! :lol: They were a really polished act though, tight as a ducks arse! :lol:
Ah I didn't realise the clash didn't write that song! It's a cracker of a tune isn't it!
EDIT
Would this be the bloke who wrote it?
I FOUGHT THE LAW
The Bobby Fuller Four
