Hope & Anchor
While clubs like
the Roxy and Vortex drove Punk rock forward in a club
environment in London, it was pubs like the Hope and Anchor
as part of the Pub circuit that gave fledgling punk bands a
chance to play and hone their skills to new audiences. So many
bands have played there; from 999 - Stranglers - X Ray Spex and
in later years Madness and the Libertines to name just a few. A
live double album in 1977 also captured the pub and the types of
bands featured.
Quite simply the
Hope & Anchor in London
has been a major part as a venue in the evolution of Music throughout the
years. And whereas so many pubs and music venues have sadly long gone the pub is still standing as a live venue. It's a major part of our history
and we celebrate it. |

Venues of Old
Take a trip back in time at the
key London venues and clubs that hosted Punk gigs - from the
Marquee to the Rainbow to the Vortex and including the
Roundhouse, Hammersmith Odeon, Nashville and Dingwalls. Check
off how many of these places are still left. |

Eddie Duggan
One of the great things about doing the Roxy
Club book was interviewing some great people and getting their stories.
This one is with Eddie Duggan who as
you will read, was there at the beginning, saw some great gigs - Bowie,
100 Club Punk Festival, Roxy Club and took some great pictures. Here are
his experiences and a genuine look into the punk times of the late
Seventies. |

The
Pitiful
Yet ...another in our series of Roxy wannabees...this band
were dumped from the live at the Roxy album for being to bad and
hared the distinction of having an audition night with the
Psychedelic Furs!!
Here the story of the band with a drummer who used to take
toilet breaks mid song and their first singer who left the band
because of stage fright. Brian Dennis speaks to singer Mark Tate
and gets the lowdown on the band who at times featured members
of the Slits and 101ers helping out.

The Duel
Tara and Andy
kindly gave up their time to answer some questions about the
last album and reaction to it, how the band was going and what
did they think of their newie 'Childish Behaviour.' It's not a
bad album so check out the videos and downloads and make your
own mind up. They're also on tour now so check out their Myspace
page to see if they're gonna be near you and if they are give
them some support. |

Vice Squad
No not Beki's gang, but a bunch of
reprobates from oop North in sunny Doncaster Yorkshire. Unlike a
lot of bands they made it to vinyl on the comp ‘New Wave from
the Heart’ before chucking it all in. People sometimes forget
there were whole Punk music scenes going on out of London and
Manchester. This entry donated by Tony Beesley who
coincidentally has a book telling about the Yorkshire scene. See
below... |

Hi Paul,
Just to let you know that 'Our
Generation' is now available via me at
rotherpunk@aol.com or
Beesleytony4@aol.com and will also be made available
shortly in reputable Book stores as well as select indie
stores..£19.99BUY IT NOW!
'Our
Generation'
is the unique and very first account of the Punk generation of
Sheffield and the local region told by the author and over 150
different and varied voices of the era. From the pre - Punk days
and all the way through the summer of hate of 1977 Punk and
beyond, the story takes in the many classic gigs, the clothes
worn and searches for Identity, the groups formed and broken,
the fans, the records, the violence and laughs along with many
photos, flyers, rare tickets and memorabilia of the era. The
books main focal point is the Punk explosion and its effect on
the local youth, but also takes in Mod revivalists, 2-tone fans,
New Romantics and passing anecdotes from some of the many well
known Punk groups who have played at famous local venues such as
Doncaster Outlook, Sheffield Limit club, Rotherham Windmill and
Sheffield Top rank. Meetings with some of the most noted Punk
generation musicians such as Joe Strummer, Paul Weller and Sid
Vicious are also refreshingly told by fans in their own words.
This story is about a time of euphoric excitement and life
changing experiences when a proportion of our local youth cast
caution to the wind and found themselves in the middle of the
most explosive, controversial and influential musical revolution
since pop music began...this is Sheffield's experience of that
time...the story of 'Our Generation'
The book is 444 pages and full of many fantastic Rare and
exclusive photographs from private collections, along with
countless unique memories and experiences from those who were
there at the time. Includes words from Charlie Harper (UK Subs),
TV Smith (The Adverts), Jo Callis (The Rezillos) and many more
musicians, fans, Punk Rockers, Mod Revivalists, New Romantics
and Post-Punk fans. No corporations involved…this is a 'Do it
yourself' Punk Rock production and the very first of its kind! |
