Clutch/Graveyard/Kamchatka – Southampton, O2 Guildhall – 17 December 2019

Clutch/Graveyard/Kamchatka – Southampton, O2 Guildhall – 17 December 2019

Clutch are a band that Phil C got hooked on when he first saw them supporting Motörhead back in 2006. Since then it feels as if everything has conspired to stop him from seeing them again.

Flying Colors returned after a five year hiatus this year with their third studio album ‘Third Degree’, and as with their previous two tours, a relatively short tour of select dates across Europe, culminating in tonight’s sold out final show of the tour, the only UK date, which is being filmed and streamed live.
