GIG GUIDE // MAY<br />
GIG OF THE MONTH: SHARKS<br />
Supergroup Sharks seemed destined for rock and roll<br />
fame when they first formed in 1972. However, due to<br />
a series of unfortunate events (including the crashing of<br />
their infamous Pontiac Sharkmobile), they were only to<br />
last for two short years. Since then, original members<br />
Steve ‘Snips’ Parsons (who now lives in <strong>Lewes</strong>) and Chris<br />
Spedding have collaborated on many projects, including a<br />
short-lived reboot of the band in the early 90s. Following<br />
the death of Sharks founder Andy Fraser in 2015, the<br />
pair reformed in a third incarnation and have been busy<br />
creating new music, recording an album and even filming a<br />
documentary feature. Before they embark on their tour of Germany this <strong>May</strong> they are treating us to a onenight-only<br />
gig at All Saints, with support from local psychedelic folk band Oh Mama. Kelly Hill<br />
Saturday 12, All Saints, 7.30pm, £15 (£12 adv)<br />
