I was at this gig and what a sh itshow it was. Just a shame there’s not a full recording. Band sounded great. They’d played High Wycombe before, but skinheads were targeting Ants gigs. About 30 skins showed up late (and drunk) and started booing and assaulting random punters. Then the skins started chanting “sieg heil” and it all kicked off. The band had had enough. Adam was really brave. Had the mic the whole time and told the skins to “F off out of it” and to “go and watch Tiswas” (which got a laugh). He said another skinhead “looked like the bald geezer from Benny Hill” (which got another laugh). More Nazi chants were followed by the worst mass brawl I’ve ever seen. Kevin Mooney leathered one skin and got dragged into the melee. It was mental. Furniture was smashed and thrown. The punks turned into soldier Ants and turned on the Skins. Skins got a kicking that night. Blood and beer all over the floor. The fuzz arrived. Bedlam. High Wycombe town council had an emergency meeting the next day and banned all punk bands from playing there.
