About the event

Uncensored! punk rock radio show is excited to be hosting this one off special event as part of its 40 years of punk Nottingham celebrations.

Come and hear Rat Scabies talk about life in one of the most influential bands, credited with releasing the very first punk single, New Rose, in 1976. He will also be talking about life after The Damned and will be taking questions.

Christopher John Millar known by his stage name Rat Scabies, is a musician best known for his time as the drummer with The Damned.

He played drums with Tor and London SS before founding The Damned with Brian James, Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible in 1976. He continued to play with the band until 1995.

In recent times, he has played with Donovan, Nosferatu, Neville Staple (formerly of the Specials), Dave Catching (Eagles of Death Metal), Chris Goss, the Members, The Mutants, The Spammed, Urban Voodoo Machine and Jane Horrocks. He has also worked as a producer, most notably with Flipron, Ebony Bones and Arizona punk outfit Glass Heroes.
Millar is the central character of the book Rat Scabies and The Holy Grail, written by former music journalist Christopher Dawes. The book was published in May 2005 and is billed as “A road trip, a rich historical yarn, and testimony to the odd nature of a great many friendships”.
