Came across this cover of the old Sham 69 song by Breton punk band Les Ramoneurs de menhirs. Think it sounds pretty great, although I suspect Jimmy Pursey did not write the song with the Breton bombarde in mind.
I heard the original again recently on a local Rock Radio station, hadn't heard it in years, and it certainly put a smile on my face.
This track is from the Amzer an dispac'h album, their second, which was released in 2010.
the album also includes a cover of La Blanche Hermine which includes a vocal contribution by Gilles Servat, the original writer of the song who released it in 1970.
I see from the source of all wisdom that is Wikipedia that they toured Scotland in 2008 with Oi Polloi, would have been great to see the Ramoneurs but I totally missed it. Hope they come back some time soon!
