LONDON - UK SUBS KEEP ON RUNNING ('TILL THEY BREAK)

What with major festival headliners pulling out in a huff and Doherty appearances now occurring with inbuilt unexpectancy it's nice to see that a bunch of old punks are still willing to play through the pain. Regular VICE contributer Gavin Watson ran into UK Subs vocalist Charlie Harper at Oslo airport where he took this photo. Gavin had this to say:"I've known Charlie donkeys years since back in the skinhead days. I ran into him and the lads while I was legging it for a plane in Norway. Fuck Lemmy, Charlie is the real fucking hardcore trooper. He's in his 60s and on fucking crutches and still off to play in Japan with a broken leg…

"These kids today could learn a thing or two from old Charlie. He'd probably still have 'em in a punch up crutches and all". Thanks Gavin.
