The Skids mark last stand in aid of Help for Heroes

Former punk rock band The Skids have revisited their home town for the official release of their DVD.

The DVD features concert footage of the band’s last tour, which included a date at the Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline.

Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline was the venue for Sunday’s event, with proceeds from sales of the DVD going to the Help for Heroes charity.

Footage from Skids concerts in March was captured on HD cameras, and the DVD includes interviews and front man Richard Jobson talking about his early days in the band.

In addition, there was a raffle, with prizes including a signed guitar, a signed and framed Skids photo, and tickets for other shows.

A spokesman for the Skids said, “Richard donated royalties from The Saints Are Coming, which was covered by U2 and Green Day, for victims of the 2005 New Orleans disaster.

“He wanted to raise money for Help for Heroes through this DVD.”
