ADAM ANT - 'Matthew Ashman' - Tribute - The Scala - 21.11.10

Another unexpected, very kindly sent, gig from Adam Ant and friends which was performed as a tribute to 'Matthew Ashman'  who sadly died on this date in 1995 at the young age of 35, his death was due to diabetes related complications, a great loss !!!
This is a perfect audience recording and has most of the songs I loved from The Ants, the band sound fuckin' brilliant as does Adam, nearest he's sounded to the old days!  I also found this review of the gig at The Scala London so read away and enjoy, I found at the end of one of me tapes an Ants gig from 1977 at The Vortex which I've been humming and harring about posting as the quality is rough, but it's a piece of classic history, do you want it???
