It was jailhouse rock for the infamous prison as the Scottish Sex Pistols — a punk tribute who perform with the blessing of Johnny Rotten and co. — tore through hits including 'Anarchy in the UK' in front of a captive audience
Over 100 inmates at Glasgow Barlinnie Prison were treated to a raucous gig by tribute band the Scottish Sex Pistols.
“There is strong evidence to show the positive impact music and the arts in general can have and we are grateful to the Scottish Sex Pistols for coming in and playing for those in our care.” “A lot of the prisoners are in their early-twenties and haven’t even heard of the Sex Pistols. Just over 100 prisoners put their names down to see the show.
Scottish Sex Pistols frontman Keith Warwick, aka Johnny McRotten, said: “The guys in the band have all worked in different arms of social work, and so we understand that you have a duty of care as a creative to actually go into these places. The Scottish Sex Pistols aren’t the first music act to play the prison. American all-female rock act The Darts played just last month. In the 1980s, Billy Connolly and Wet Wet Wet as well as Scots singer Carol Laula all performed there.
“It was absolutely bananas and great fun. When I told him I supported Celtic, he said, ‘Well, we all like Celtic, don’t we.’ He was really nice and very encouraging about the band.”
