One of the longest-running British punk rock bands, The Mekons still enjoy a highly devoted following 30 years after the group of Leeds University students first joined forces.
Named after an evil, super-intelligent Venusian from the 1950's comic Dan Dare, the band has been influenced by both English folk and American country music during its lengthy career.
