Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg, Martin Blitz, Greg Hetson, Pela Glasgow July 24th 2019


A huge thanks goes out to the band “Fire Exit” who put on a fantastic show at the Garage in Glasgow’s Sauchiehall street tonight. Fire Exit over the years have seen a few changes and after Paul Thompson left, their new guitarist managed to set up this support gig only to leave himself with Paul returning to take up the lead guitar and like they say, the show must go on. The band supported Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg and with Marky being a legendary Ramones drummer and huge punk influence for many. This gig was a big deal for the band and why Paul gave me the shout out to shoot this once in a life time, all be it the bands been around 40 years, chance of a lifetime. So much so, Jerry, Fire Exit’s singer who himself was recovering from a nine month wait for knee surgery which couldn’t be kept of the dance floor, as his walking stick could clearly be sing bouncing around in the air as Marky’s band had everyone on the dance floor. Earlier I was lucky enough, on entering the venue and on the back stairs to have run into Marky heading for his sound check and where he was gracious enough to allow me to shoot his band and a further surprise came later just as I spoke the the guitarist and singer as the band waited to on stage, when Marky himself pulled me aside to take a group photo. Nice one
