Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols have added a third fundraiser show to benefit London venue Bush Hall, where they will be playing ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ in its entirety. Following phenomenal demand for the first two dates, a third show has been confirmed, taking place on Thursday 15 August. Frank Carter will join iconic musicians Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Steve Jones for a handful of special shows to raise funds for celebrated West London venue, Bush Hall.
Performing the Sex Pistols’ iconic 1977 album in full, funds raised from all three gigs will go directly towards preserving the independent venue. In 2012 Frank Carter performed his debut live show with former band, Pure Love , at Bush Hall. A lifelong Sex Pistols fan, the frontman first met Steve Jones in 2008 during an interview on the guitarist’s radio show, later meeting the rest of the band through mutual friends.
Speaking on the shows, the eclectic frontman has shared: “This has been a joy from start to finish. When the Sex Pistols call, you answer. I’m very excited to be a part of it.
” Sex Pistols’ drummer Paul Cook has also said: “ We’re doing a benefit for Bush Hall with the famous Frank Carter. We’re going to be playing Pistols numbers cause they need support and they need the money. We thought it would be a great way to stop it going under.
This is my local venue. I grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and I still live round here. It would be a real shame to see it disappear and we want to keep.
