Bad Manners bust out the hits at Warwick University

Ska legend Buster Bloodvessel and his gang go down a storm at the Copper Rooms.

Buster Bloodvessel and his mighty band, Bad Manners skanked the night away at Warwick University’s Copper Rooms on Sunday June 14.

The audience all went along for the ride, well, be rude not to, and Buster was on top form performing hit after hit, including Lip Up Fatty, My Girl Lollipop, Special Brew and of course Can Can.

I can’t imagine anyone tonight not enjoying the rather unique stage presence of one of ska’s most enduring legends. Buster (real name Douglas Trendle), has spent many hours in Coventry, hence his lament tonight of the long gone Parson’s Nose Chippy, and their Faggot, Chips and Peas, receiving a huge roar of appreciation from the Cov crowd.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Copper Rooms, is a superb venue, if you haven’t yet been, I suggest to check out some of great bands coming along, it really is something Coventry should be proud of.
