Vic Godard (Subway Sect)
MOJO Collections stand approx. 11am Sun 25th November.
After just a handful of rehearsals, Subway Sect debuted at the legendary 100 Club Punk Festival on Monday 20th September 1976. Sex Pistols' manager Malcolm McLaren had suggested that Vic Godard and his mates (a bunch of south-west London soul boys, who hung out at Sex Pistols' gigs) should form a band to help swell the number of acts in a line-up that already included the Sex Pistols, and the Clash.
Subway Sect turned out to be one of the most original and innovative bands to emerge from the festival and went on to claim a rightful place as one of the top punk bands.

Badman’s previous book was unanimously hailed as the most comprehensive chronology of their lives after the group split. His latest book tells the stories behind the news, adding flesh to the skeleton of their post-Beatles lives.
