in the 80's we used to go to alot of gigs in Leeds though there was alot of animosity between Huddersfield and Leeds punks and skins so we used to keep a little quiet. Brannigans in Leeds then moving on to the Bierkeller, Adam & Eves and then the Duchess.
We used to travel about quite a bit to many other northern towns and cities, usually Manchester, Liverpool (Planet X), Wigan, Preston, Sunderland, Newcastle and down south quite a bit to Leicester, Coventry, Nottingham, The Mermaid in Brum and a few places in London like the George Robey, Clarendon Ballroom, SOAAOS.

Late to this thread. Late 70's early 80's was a great time for music.
I used to tag along with mates to the punk gigs in the 70's but never really liked the music, like some on here i was more of a Gong & Hawkwind fan, but liked the energy. Saw most of the main punk bands bar the Pistols in small venues. Anyone from Brighton remember the gigs at the New Rodent ?.
I started at Liverpool Uni oct 1978, & discovered a club called Erics within a couple of days. Thursday nights were free to members, the likes of Pink Military, Teardrops, OMD etc. One night Erics would have the Damned playing, the next National Health, the next Here & Now. Most nights either in Liverpool or a short hitch across the M62 to Manchester there'd be a gig worth seeing. It was no wonder i failed after the first year really
Albums from that time i still play now ... any of the Cab's up to Microphonies, Hai/Crackdown is my favourite era, their gig at Jenkinson's in Brighton has to be my best gig of all time. ACR's first is an all time classic. Slits, Killing Joke, Shriekback, SPK, TG.
Also lot of reggae ... Misty, Aswad, Steel Pulse, the Trojan & Greensleeves 12". It seemed to be the soundtrack to the early 80s free festivals.

Little bit later, but I distinctly remember being blown away by this on Whistle Test. Great to see it on Youtube.

Tazzy - glad to hear you've had a good music day. Still can't believe anyone else has ever heard of Furyo or In Excelsis. Very cool!
When the 'Carnival of Damocles' EP came out my girlfriend at the time did a great painting of the cover.
She was expert in other areas as well...!

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.

I know stuff like the Undertones, and Adam and the Ants (mums favourite band) is most of this stuff from the 80's?
Posted 8 months ago # -
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)
