Biography
Sham 69 are a punk rock and Oi! band from Hersham, Surrey, formed in 1975 and fronted by singer Jimmy Pursey. Their terrace chant choruses produced UK hits such as 'If the Kids Are United' and 'Hurry Up Harry' and the classic albums 'Tell Us the Truth' and 'The Adventures of the Hersham Boys'. Two competing line-ups have used the Sham 69 name since 2011, one built around the original 1977 members.
