Ned's Atomic Dustbin - 20th Xmas Bash - Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall: Friday 21st December 2007

Ned鈥檚 Xmas shows at Wolverhampton Civic Hall were the highlight of their year, regularly attracting fans from across the globe (Australia, Japan, US, Germany, France, Ireland!) to sample the extra-special atmosphere. The boys have decided to revive the tradition and play Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall to celebrate their 20th year this Xmas!

Jonn exclusively told 大象传媒 Black Country:
"It's hard to imagine that it all started 20 years ago - I guess folks might think we must be really old since we have been together such a long time but the reality is that we were very young when we began!!

Wolverhampton Xmas gigs

"Wolverhampton at Xmas is still such a special occasion for us and the fans - we're really looking forward to another amazing night. We're very privileged to still be shifting tickets so quickly even after all this time."

Nearly 20 years ago, a singer, a drummer, a guitarist, a soon-to-depart-girl-backing-vocalist and two, yes two bass players met up and formed Ned鈥檚 Atomic Dustbin in the humble, yet already blossoming indie-rock Mecca that is Stourbridge.

One million albums

Who could have known those five remaining lads would wind up selling a million albums and leave a dirty great footprint on the UK charts with 3 Top 20 Singles and a No.4 entry for their debut album God Fodder? What鈥檚 more several world tours and a worldwide live reputation to die for has left the Neds with a proud legacy and a cohort of die-hard fans the envy of any of their contemporaries!

Neds glory days came to an end in 1995, when, faced with the onslaught of grunge and Britpop they imploded and split.

In 2000 three of the original members: Jonn, Alex and Dan decided to reform the band recruiting two new members and Neds have been playing a handful of shows every year since then.

Neds at Glasto

This year Neds have seen a mini-revival take them back into the limelight with a triumphant headline set on the Leftfield Stage at Glastonbury, heralded by Q Magazine鈥檚 Glastonbury Daily as 'highlight of the day'.

This, following Sony/BMG鈥檚 decision to release a new compilation of the band鈥檚 best work from the years they were distributed by the biggest label in the world, has brought a whole new generation of Neds fans along for the ride.
