The Stranglers Cover The Kinks

The Stranglers covered The Kinks �All Day and All Night� this afternoon in the glorious cheer of the V Festival Chelmsford site.


Baz Warne performed vocal duties for the impressive cover of the song before cheekily relation the crowd �cheer the fuck up, it�s sunny�.


The band tore through an array of hits including �Peaches�, �No More Heroes� and �Golden Brown�.


Kicking off things on the mo day of the festival, the Punk veterans provided an up-and-coming and much needed kick up the arse for the hungover festival-goers.


Much of the crowd were heard mumbling that the band should have headlined in some capacity, whether it be on the principal stage of a smaller stage, either way the band surely set the bench print for the day.
