grahamb – well said about reggae. Often overlooked but so much a part of the punk/hippy/crass-punk scene. Peter Tosh and Black Uhuru as well.

Did some reading today about Crass and Dial House. Didn’t realise they were instrumental in the free festival movement. In those days you had flyers and pamphlets. None of this internet bollocks!

metalheart – another Essex claim to fame was that the hospital scenes in ‘A Clockwork Orange’ were filmed in Harlow. An early punk film in lots of ways I guess.

ratswithwings, do you mean the Dortmunder in Leeds, not BeirKeller, there was a Beirkeller in Bradford tho. I saw Death Cult at the Dortmunder, just before they became The Cult.

just going through ASF- liquid head in tokyo at the moemnt

I know stuff like the Undertones, and Adam and the Ants (mums favourite band) is most of this stuff from the 80’s?

most of it is 79-85 ish (I was only little, having a big brother who was determined to make sure I was going to keep the faith as he was playing bauhaus at me in 83 when I was 10)

Just back from seeing Anti Nowhere League After a night of pogoing I’m now aching all over and looking forward to a cup of tea then bed! Not very Punk Rock.

probably a little late to this, but I regularly listen to Fugazi, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Dead Kennedys……seems to keep me young

B.a.nana – No, it was deffo the Bierkeller. Black Flag played there, and saw conflict there quite a few times. One of the best gigs was Crucifix and Anti-Sect. Totally amzing!!

My sis played in a band with members of the Cult, well when they were known as Violation pre-SDC.

ratswithwings, are you from Leeds/Bradford then? Did she used to play/go to the 1in12 club in Bradford?

Nah, 1in12 was after her time though she did go to alot of gigs in Bradford in the 70s and early 80s.

I used to go to the 1in12 though!!!

Lived in Bradford for 6 yrs. That was enough!!! Lived in Hudds and Brighouse before that. Now in Sheffo.

Currently listening to Meat Puppets 2, what an album!

Bad Brains – Big Takeover at CBGBs ….. power!!

I’ve just been pointed in the direction of this- never seen it before, excellent quality. Ramones, from the It’s Alive album, 1977, New Years Eve, The Rainbow in London
I’m amazed by how ordinary the audience looks- from the newspapers at the time we thought the whole of UK youth had bought into punk.
