POST-PUNK PERFECTION COMES TO HAMPTON – OLDFIELD YOUTH CLUB
Formed in Autumn 2018 Oldfield Youth Club is made up of 75% of critically acclaimed 1980's pop group The Last Party (2 No. Peel Sessions & Melody Maker Single of the Week with their debut single ‘Mr Hurst’).
Recently described as ‘Post-Punk Perfection’ they feature Simon Rivers (also ex Bitter Springs), Neil Palmer & Kim Rivers (all from Hampton) with the addition of the multi talented Allison Thomson on keys/trumpet/vocals.
‘Rivers’ caustic wit casts an omniscient eye over England, creating characters to be loved and loathed; he provides a commentary of normal life that is both warming and alarming.’ (Echoes & Dust)
Recent gigs in London and Margate promoting their debut album ‘The Hanworth are Coming’ have been a triumph and they are looking forward to playing songs from the Album (and from their new forthcoming Album – a work in progress) at Hampton Hub in
August.
