A PUNK pioneer is heading to Stourbridge later this year.
Jah Wobble, the former Public Image Ltd bassist, will perform at Katie Fitzgerald's on Saturday, October 3.
Wobble, who was born John Wardle in 1958, was renamed by Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious after struggling to pronounce his name correctly.
Wobble began his career in 1978 as a member of Public Image Ltd (PiL) alongside former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon and Keith Levene.
He quickly became known for his bass playing and his ability to blend elements of dub, funk and world music.
His band, Jah Wobble and the Invaders of the Heart, will play a series of Metal Box Rebuilt in Dub shows, reworking the second PiL album.
The shows will also feature tracks from the debut PiL album, First Issue.
His band includes former Siouxsie and The Banshees guitarist Jon Klein.
The Metal Box Rebuilt in Dub shows are part of a UK tour following a busy year for Wobble, who has re-released his album The Usual Suspects, collaborated with Jon Klein on the Automated Paradise album, and worked on the Mystic Liverpool album with his sons.
Tickets can be purchased from the Song Kick website.
