Use Captain Sensibles Riot on Eastbourne Pier ? Just read this
Unfortunately, not of all of Eastbourne Pier’s musical connections have been such happy ones. In 1991, erstwhile Damned punk rocker ‘Captain’ Sensible released the almost criminally-irresponsible ‘Riot on Eastbourne Pier’. What an earth was Sensible thinking? Admittedly, it’s unlikely that anyone would be persuaded to start such a riot simply by listening to Sensible’s effort; however, the concern is that someone already pre-disposed to this type of activity may be pushed ‘over the edge’, and indeed, may subsequently use Sensible’s recording as some sort of twisted defence for their deranged actions. To date this has not happened, but Eastbourne Pier continues to live under a dark cloud. Thanks, Captain
