The Fall emerged from Manchester's punk scene in the late 1970s, founded by Mark E. Smith, who initially led a poetry collective. • The event features the band's first four singles, including Bingo-Master's Break-Out, It's The New Thing, Rowche Rumble, and Fiery Jack. • These singles, recorded between 1977 and 1979, showcase the band's working-class art punk sound, characterised by Smith's obtuse lyrics and distinctive vocal delivery. • The compilation also includes tracks with notable band members, such as Martin Bramah, Una Baines, and Marc Riley, who would later become part of The Fall's classic lineups.

The event, 77 - Early Years - 79, will take place on Thursday, 26 November 2026, at Resident Music in Brighton. Tickets are with the button beside the article. This event is a chance to experience The Fall's early years and their significant contribution to the UK punk scene, with many of their best-known songs featured, including Psycho Mafia and Rowche Rumble.
