Bad Manners, the early 80s hitmakers behind such as classics as Special Brew, Lip Up Fatty and the Can Can, are back.

Lead singer 40-year-old, 28 stone madcap Buster Bloodvessel, has emerged from his canal houseboat in Hayes to conquer the world again from a back garden studio in Ruislip.

The band have recorded a new single ,, Come on England, to the tune of Come on Eileen, by Dexy's Midnight Runners, which the band hope wil be a big hit for Euro 2000.

The band are playing live on Saturday at the Rayners Hotel in Rayners Lane, Harrow as a warm-up for a world tour.

'There's been a resurgence of Ska music and the world is starting to come to our gigs again,' he said.

Buster stood as a candidate for the London Mayoral elections until Ken Livingstone announced he would stand as an independent, and Buster decided to back him.

'I believe that the issues I stand for are also issues that are very close to Ken's heart,' he said. For bookings call 01494 580 753.
