Subway Sect's first gig was at the legendary 100 Club Punk Festival on 20th September 1976 with line-up:
Vic Godard (vocals), Rob Symmons (guitar), Paul Myers (bass) and Paul Packham (drums).
Members came and went and soon Vic was the only original member of the group.
They supported the Clash a lot, as they were also managed by Bernie Rhodes.
