Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways being just a few outfits that Billy has run into the ground. But all that is just a hobby gone out of control – his day job is being an internationally exhibited artist, writer and vermin poet.

Specialising in Medway/Chicago Blues, The Chatham Singers have released five albums since 2005, via Hangman Records and Damaged Goods, and over a dozen 7” singles, some rarer than others, some worse than others.

The Chatham Singers are Billy Childish on Vocals/Guitar, Juju on Vocals/Bass, Wolf Howard on Drums/Percussion and ‘Bludy’ Jim Riley on Harp.

This top notch 7 inch 45 contains two recordings, recorded at Jim Riley’s Ranscombe Studios.

An alt version of ‘Step Out’, with Juju taking lead vocals.

C/W ‘Upside Mine’ – a favourite at the gigs..
