With the bulk of the audience initially prefering the range of beers on offer in the downstairs bar, an even more select few enjoyed a brief impromptu Pointy Boss three-piece set of classic covers, before Fletch Lives! took to the stage, for a first-rate set.

Undaunted by the absence of a full PA to mix their sound, Pointy Boss (in classic four-piece mode) then took it upon themselves to knock out a set of fresh-punk classics old and new.

With ticket prices waived in favour of a free gig, the band were bound to end up out of Pointy pocket — which was the one downer on a good evening.

Bunkers offers a great small venue, but the 'deal' offered by the current landlord is so tight-fisted that many bands are put off returning to the venue for a second time. With a change of landlord in the offing, Pointy Boss will approach Bunkers again to check out the new regime!
