Used to hold the punk festival in my pub in poulton before the winter gardens in Blackpool had it.
Had bands like goldblade, uk subs, boredom a.d., the briefs, drex.
Miss those days, punks were always the best customers we had |

Can I suggest a sawn-off shotgun from about 10 feet away? Should be able to hit all of them. |

I can get them all with a 24-70 f2.8 and it's a lot less messy! If I want to get up close, I'll use the 85 f1.4 |

The cockney rejects appeared on TOTP and they were hardly middle class. I've seen many of the punk bands live my favourites being the cockney rejects, peter and the test tube babies and the exploited. Watty Buchan is quite ill at the moment. |

Not exactly punk, but The Stranglers are currently on their 40th anniversary tour. I'll be seeing them in B'ham on Saturday, and Holland and France next month.  |

Was tempted on Stranglers last week but jet Black is a rarity and with no Hugh Cornwell its not the same.
Toy Dolls were in Bristol last November and wanted to see them but Gary Numan was performing the same night  |

I'll be shooting them (and The Boomtown Rats) at a festival in a couple of months.
Saw them a couple of years ago at a Triumph day at Mallory Park; I was a bit skeptical about seeing them without Cornwell but they were great. |
