There are a lot of similarities between a rocking Selhurst Park and a punk gig in full-flow; frantic energy, unfiltered emotion, bodies clambering over each other.
In both settings, they’re scenes familiar to Laurie Vincent - guitarist for rock-duo Slaves, lead singer-songwriter for Larry Pink the Human, and Palace fan through-and-through.
While mosh pits might seem a distant memory in a COVID world - whether in the mayhem of a celebrating Holmesdale or the ecstasy of a Slaves show - their therapeutic value is not lost on Vincent, who, like every Palace fan, is missing the electricity of a sold-out Selhurst.
