Jim - Btw...

Small town South West England 1976...

"Punk rock is, by its very nature and origins a grass-roots music originating with the 'ordinary' (if there are such creatures) people
The songs were created to reflect the lives, experiences and aspirations of people who otherwise would have had no voice and no public identity as a creative class"

I know that as fact, I was there, I was doing it...

and so were thousands of others throught out the towns and cities of the rest of the UK...

A lot of us were also at the same time listening to and involved with folk music...
There was far more inter related crossover than you will ever recognise and give credit...
