Pub rock was a rock music genre that developed in the mid 1970s in the United Kingdom. A back-to-basics movement, pub rock was a reaction against progressive and glam rock. Although short-lived, pub rock was notable for rejecting stadium venues and for returning live rock to the small pubs and clubs of its early years. It was the catalyst for the British punk rock scene.

Pub rock (UK) Video

Here is Joe Browns song that features on the credits of one of my favourite comedy movies of all time 'Porridge' 1979. The movie is of course a spin-off from the hugely popular British TV Sit-com of the same name. Both the feature film and the series starred the very talented cast of Ronnie Barker, Richard Beckinsale, Fulton Mackay & Brian Wilde. I always really like the song, it's a very straight ahead radio friendly, pub-rock affair!... not my usual fare at all, but it always cheers me up :) I hope you enjoy it, please don't be shy add a comment :)
