I loved The Ruts, and can remember seeing them, Vice Squad and The Damned at Bristol Locarno for the princely sum of #1.75 in the late 70's. Saw them many times along with D.C. and later bands. Always class acts. Really shocked to hear about Raven as well. Another immense unique talent that you can't follow.
