RICH KIDS GIG DETAILS

Friday, 27 November 2009

Former Rich Kids members Midge Ure and Glen Matlock have come together to organise a benefit concert for the family of Rich Kids guitarist Steve New, who sadly has battled with cancer for the past year.

Guests confirmed are The Illuminations (featuring Clive Langer, Steve Allen and Ian Broudie), TV Smith (from the Adverts), Viv Albertine (from The Slits), Carbon Silicon (featuring Mick Jones and Tony James), Patti Paladin and Gary Kemp (from Spandau Ballet).

Glen and Midge will perform solo slots on the night and Steve New will play with his band Beastellabeast before all four of the Rich Kids, which will include original drummer Rusty Egan, take to the stage. Special guests will no doubt "join in the racket and play guitars very loudly", according to Midge.
