Important statement from Jeff regarding the Cockney Rejects after 2023
Hello everyone.
We've been having a lot of people come up to us and ask about our retirement at the end of the year, following our Club 100 shows in December.
That is not the case.
As we stated back in April 2022, when we originally announced that 2022 and 2023 were going to be our last touring years, after 2023, we will still play the festival circuit.
2023 is not the last year you will see us live on stage, it is just the last year of our extensive touring.
Watch this video and hear Jeff himself explain the situation.
We appreciate everyone's support and we hope to see you guys out on the road for as long as possible, even if less frequent.
Cheers

I still love playing the classics on KZread, fool, bad man are punk classics. The first album should be rated amongst the best rock albums ever put to vinyl.
Greatest hits volume 2 which ive still got vinyl in mint condition after 40 years was a great alternative to Sex Pistols debut
Go ferrit, Jeffers! Hope ya reading dis, me ole China.
when my article on the top 15 punk albums was published this is what I wrote about their debut album "Cockney Rejects. Released March 7, 1980. Peaked at #22 on the U.K. charts. The archetypal image of rowdy, uncontrollable, hooligan youth came to life with the Cockney Rejects. Formed in the East End of London by brothers Mickey Geggus (guitar) and Jeff "Stinky" Turner (vocals) they were young, hungry with sticky fingers. " The early days were manic," Guggus recalled. " Like most bands we didn't have a pot to piss in, so we obviously had to resort to certain measures...like waiting outside venues until the opportunity arose to nick as much backline and stuff as possible; we'd keep some and fence the other half up the road!" Cockney Rejects are crucial in the punk subgenre known as Oi, essentially music created by working class kids. By 1979 the punk scene in England was becoming stagnant with poseurs everywhere on the streets and in the clubs. Every kid had piercings, ripped shirts and colored hair. The bloom was off the rose, that initial thrill of 1977 was long gone. The press was gleefully declaring punk dead and most of the aging public was wishing this with all their hearts. Then along came Cockney Rejects and with their first EP, Flares And Slippers (August 1, 1979) they changed the face of British music. No bullshit--Just pure impact! The boys gave the fake scene a good swift reality kick up the ass. It can be argued that Cock Sparrer was the first Oi band in 1977, but it is undeniable that Cockney Rejects put Oi squarely on the map and in the public's consciousness. With their debut LP, Greatest Hits Vol 1 the Rejects delivered the goods. A massive, punchy sound with melody and irresistible singalong choruses straight off football terraces. Sean Forbes from Rough Trade Records said " No one has got anywhere near sounding this thuggish and great at the same time. It's a one trick pony but I love that one trick. It's all about building up the song until a mob chorus comes in and sweeps the song to another level. Greatest Hits Vol 1 mixes football and punk...what more could you need?". The title Greatest Hits Vol 1 is tongue in cheek; It's not really a compilation of their hits; the boys just went into the studio and cut an album. A few months later they recorded a Greatest Hits Vol 2. Do not sleep on that one. It's just as good as Vol 1 and contains their most famous song, "Oi Oi Oi."
See ya in Manchester next month

Say it ain't so. My wife loves the Rejects and Wham both equally. I don't think she is prepared to handle this.
