[@sambrooks7862]

[@oldschoolfoil2365]

[@timjonheath]

When I first heard the album Beer n Sex n Chips n Gravy I never laughed so much in all my life. A great album all round.

[@djharg400]

I Was Here! Fuckin Over 30 Years Ago! HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!

[@MoonBeamsAndDreams]

djharg /Haggis ... I'm so fucking jealous!!

[@random_an0n]

i was in the womb when this came out,but getting though their discography atm.

[@wurzel1873]

Loved the band ever since school days. Been going to the gigs past and present. Fortunate to have seen them late 80s early 90s. So I was well chuffed when they decided to gig again nearly 30 years later.

[@garydunn1210]

I was at this gig. We were told by their Manager, who we knew, to save all our empty cans from over Christmas (which was when it was filmed) to throw at them while they played.

[@kwenzini]

Peter Gresty was the manager then. We played two weeks before them here. Great little venue.

[@upthebuffer1921]

As someone from the other side of the world thats a lovely snippet of information. Would love to hear more of this.

[@r-kidhenry1285]

I've got this album on record, I've had it for 40 years, no scratches I'm impressed found it not so long ago along with old marillion albums 😮

[@TheBookOfBrian]

Grew up in the town near macc. One of the best bands ever

[@jj9749]

Still remember all the words from school in the mid 80s 🤣

[@HerFatherDidntLikeMe]

Same here. Can't say the same for 99% of the curriculum to pass my ears.

[@dazthemod69]

Fucking brilliant. One of my favourite bands. Gave us some mad, crazy nights.

[@lphones6428]

there are some fantastic lyrics great fun band

[@AndersPack]

The lads from Macc are still amazing, almost 40 years later!

[@stevex8409]

I used to listen to the Macc lads years ago at school but this is the first time ive actually seen their faces, the beater reminds me of Johnny Marr and the front man Mutley's quite charismatic, great stuff.

[@stevex8409]

Carlos Jackal yes i can see the comparison.

[@thomasedmundrichards]

Not quite as good as Johnny Marr though

[@Aki-or9gi]

We used to go and see em live all over the place, but especially in London where we were the only northerners there! Support from Sweaty Betty, a very "talented" stripper!

[@stephenlynch5143]

I saw them a fair few times over the years Always a fantastic night out

[@iainflanigan718]

Best band ever

[@oldschoolfoil2365]

Great upload. great band, there will be no boys like the macc lads like this. mutleys lyrics are gem

[@nowthennowthen-ys4ck]

Ah yes The Macc Lads..I remember one of their early tours when they supported Nana Mouskouri...Although I could be mistaken.

[@michaelj3282]

First heard of tem in the mid 80s cos I was with a lass called Julie from Bollington. Great memories.

[@craiglomas8159]

I remember going watch the lads at Shelley's 1988 just before Christmas it was the beaters last gig I was 15 Good times

[@rickmeyrick4357]

Was there, it was an eye opener but great @ the gallery.

[@MoonBeamsAndDreams]

[@davidmckendry4491]

[@seancyco1853]

thehappymurcia I wondered who that was? haa haa. I bet it was a good nite!

[@artvanwag3257]

Saw them same year at Leeds loads of spitting at them

[@wurzel1873]

I went to that gig in 95. It was the last gig before their first German tour. Brought the rockweilers single

[@BobsBand]

they should have called it "Live Aids"...

[@tanktanktanktanktank]

Saw these around this time in Brum. I remember someone chucked a pot of gloss paint over everyone. Eddie shit was support

[@theculturedthug6609]

Someone called Eddie Shit?

[@wurzel1873]

Hummingbird I think that gig around 89. 😂

[@quackerboots]

lol I was at the same gig, also a scaffold tower was pushed around amongst the crowd as well as the paint flying around, think they were renovating the Humming Bird at the time, great times...managed to climb on stage only to be thrown off by some huge fucker called Ben Nevis.............

[@buckybroon821]

[@OliverTrist]

Holy smoke!... Is that Charlie Sheen's twin on the guitar on the left?!

[@lg5285]

As a staunch feminist I still adore them

[@neilhobson3624]

Nice one. I’m sure it’s all tongue in cheek. Even though it’s pretty raw. They just bring a smile to your face. 👍. You’re ok for a feminist 🤪❤️X.

[@TOG1962]

No one in Macc says ''thee' or 'tha's'

[@jj9749]

They do in Prestbury

[@IainPurdie]

The most politically incorrect and upsetting things about this video are those "Sun" t-shirts.

[@geoffhummerstone]

[@theculturedthug6609]

Kick a radical feminist in the fanny.

[@JayClark-z2w]

😝😜😝😜😝😜

[@deeps2761]

Found this because I'm a long time fan, always thought there was a bit of irony about the Macc Lads but the opeining rant made me cringe. I know it was 30 years ago but oh (fuckin') dear. Still think 'Miss Macclesfield' should have been entered into the Eurovision.

[@deeps2761]

Not sure your logic stacks, and while I'm hardly likely to win any PC awards it doesn't mean that we can't look back and wince about past behaviour. Going down the nuclear route, it was considered completely acceptable to keep slaves for a while 'back in the day'. As i said, I'm a fan, doesn't mean that we've not moved on in the last 30 years. Irony, satire, meh, chill dude, being offensive to get noticed isn't necessarily a good quality and I say this as a young fan who was offensive 30 years ago to be noticed, I grew out of it though thankfully.

[@stevex8409]

I was talking about that opening rant with someone recently. I don't think Mutley is racist, the Macc lads are an act. We've all said and done things we're not proud of, im in my 40's now but when i was 17 i used to see the world totally differently to how i see it now, im sure he didn't mean anything nasty by it, it was just of time.

[@deeps2761]

I'm the same, 48 year old me has a slightly different world view from the 18 year old me and I don't need to go that far back to find things to feel embarrassed about. The Macc Lads were about being 'edgy', its probably part of what appealed to me at the time, it was a 'less enlightened' time, glad I lived in it though.

[@DAVEDEATH1000]

I very much doubt the folk at the gig gave a fuck! And rightly so. Imagine what would happen nowadays. Some cunt woulda recorded it on their phone and spammed it all over social media, and then Macc Lads gigs would be boycotted by ANTIFA type cretins for racism etc. Political correctness shafts the country even more. Sad times. I mean it's only a fucking laugh. I saw the Lads live a couple weeks back and they still fucking rule. Eh up!

[@78intheshade]

I fuckin love it
