Is that the right lyric? Suburban Rebels by The Business. Thought it was 'this is what we think of you'. I could be wrong.

Well worth watching. Particularly when the Oi boys got a good sending off by the Southall Boys.

You never gave the impression of being a fan of Oi. Keep on surprising us.

Stumbled across this on Saturday night after a red wine or two. Great programme, really enjoyed it. Worth watching on catch-up, even it's not your thing (it's not mine)

I need to watch the first half of it on catch up as I only switched over when they were taking about oi. I don't mind that music but it and it's associated 'politics' are about as far away from the original skinheads as you can get. I never was a skinhead as didn't see the point of the uniform but I loved the original ska music from Jamaica and the adaptations/revival here in 1979ish and 1989ish. Went to see a lot of bands around London including the festivals at the Finsbury Park Tavern and Shoreditch Town Hall . It's black music, simple tunes, non aggressive. Oi and rap are about as far away as you can get. I only mention rap as it seemed to kill off ska for good. I don't think many kids, black or white, listen to Desmond Dekker or Laurel Aitken anymore, which is a shame.

Proper youth culture, Railway bell was the place if you were in to the scene, you got to admire the old skool for sticking to their guns though.

Oi! was a pure fabrication, manufactured solely by Garry Bushell as a laugh to give his shitferbrains mates down the pub some easy beer money. Only Sounds (pretended to) take it seriously or give it any kind of coverage. NME and Melody Maker never touched it with a barge pole except to quite correctly sneer at it. Ever get the feeling you've been HAD?

agreed, recall a few rumbles with skinheads and the wreckin crew taking out skrewdriver security at one gig... The meteors had a strict no politics theme at the time and would not tolerate nazi's at their gigs.

Jimmy were the two that started drinking in the bell before that buccaneer the fortune of war and anywhere else that would let us in

It was a good programme, nice to see genuine grass roots culture rather than something manufactured to be sold to the masses. Not sure there are that many around still.

Talking of Oi and Skrewdriver security this is a fascinating article about Nicky Crane who was head it (ans secretly gay):

Saw WAY too many punk gigs wrecked by the arrival of the low-IQ NF boot boys. It was like letting loose a pack of pit bulls on the audience. They even turned on Jimmy Pursey in the end. At which point he finally washed his hands of them and buggered off to the US.
