Was delighted to be asked to contribute to that book. So took the authors up on their offer bigtime. Think I contributed about a third of the punk section of the book in the end, as well as supplying many of the photos from that era. The book dedication is to my late bruv.
Buccaneer, Alhambra, Art College Basement, New Regent, Attrix Records, was WELL in the thick of it. Used to pen-pal Helen McCookerybook from my bedsit to her bookshop. Bloomin' LOVED The Chefs! Even promoted The Piranhas in Chatham's best pub venue once. Skinheads turned up. As always with those low IQ nazi c*nts, it didn't end well
Yeah, I frequented those venues in the early '80s, and a mate of mine worked in Attrix Records on Sydney Street; perfect job for him, because he was absolutely obsessed with music, he lived for it.
I similarly loved The Chefs, and also Birds With Ears (their Youth in Asia album is one of my favourites).

Talking of which (or whom), how could I forget this absolute masterpiece from 1977

Carl (the Chefs) was big buddies with my ex wife's best pal (Burgess Hill contingent). We shared a flat with Tracy who briefly married the guitarist with the Molesters, and sang with them and also with the Smartees. No love lost between the Molesters and Attila (and at least one other NSC poster). It was all a long time ago.

Saw him do this live (I think fr the first time) many years later. Emotional.

Much underrated Welsh rockers. I have a copy of their first album on vinyl. They don't. It's rare. And badly pressed, sadly.

Had the pleasure of seeing Leslie West in Kent (Deal, I think) 15 or so years ago. This isn't an obvious track by Mountain but I love it.

Fantastic that you had photos.
In my late teens/early 20's, I forgot all about taking snaps, instead clubbing and gigging with just money in my pocket. A simple life - music, lager, dancing and hoping to meet females.
