In 2011 Steve Ignorant embarked on an international tour, titled “The Last Supper”. He performed Crass material, culminating with a final performance at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 19 November. Ignorant said that this was the last time he would sing the songs of Crass, with Rimbaud’s support; the latter joined him onstage for a drum-and-vocal rendition of “Do They Owe Us A Living”, bringing the band’s career full circle after 34 years: “And then Penny came on…and we did it, ‘Do They Owe Us A Living’ as we’d first done it all those years ago. As it started, so it finished”. Ignorant’s lineup for the tour were Gizz Butt , Carol Hodge, Pete Wilson and Spike T. Smith, and he was joined by Eve Libertine for a number of songs. The set list included a cover of “West One (Shine on Me)” by The Ruts , when Ignorant was joined onstage by the Norfolk-based lifeboat crew with whom he volunteers.
