[kj] punk festival

[Patrick Davies]

:-)

haven't been referred to as a kid for a long time!

 

Never said you were knocking the beat Alex but I hold anything with
suspicion that uses any term like real punk/metal/ska/etc

 

As I mentioned it was originally developed as an alternative to the
Reading festival which initially seemed to start out with old farts from
the punk era being promoted and in that sense you shouldn't put too much
into the real punk tag. The cockney rejects were never a punk band
anyway

 

Just looking at some of the more prominent bands:

STIFF LITTLE FINGERS 

HAZEL O'CONNOR & 

THE SUBTERRANEANS 

  ARI UPS SLITS (saw her recently - good show!)

THE BUSINESS 

CHAS & DAVE 

JOHN OTWAY 

THE LURKERS 

MENACE 

SPLODGENESSABOUNDS 

THE VARUKERS 

DEMOB 

  THE ADICTS 

KING KURT 

ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE 

VICE SQUAD 

999 

PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES 

THE BEAT 

DISCHARGE 

THE LAST RESORT 

GBH 

COCKNEY REJECTS 

TV SMITH & BAND 

THE VIBRATORS 

SUBHUMANS 

UK SUBS 

JESSE JAMES

Interesting to see some bands there I saw in 1977!

Kids, I'm not *KNOCKING* the Beat,....I'm just pointing out the
discrepancies in advertising a "real Punk" gig when you've got bands on
the roster who aren't orthodox Punk at all (yes, I'm aware that there
was a mutual respect from both the Punk and Ska scenes). It's just that
when you box things in a slap genre tags on everything, you're bound to
look foolish at one point or another (and this is one of those points). 

 

Best Beat tune = "Two Swords"
