Disco and Pubk happened at about the same time. They offered the same escape from the dullness of the mainstream and then rapidly became mainstream. That’s fashion for you. Like at music trends there was brilliant music in the underground though.

Branded.
Disco is one of the most unappreciated genre's of modern times.
I loved War as much as I loved Led Zeppelin.

NS,
I have a 7 year olds recollection of them yes, before a time when H&S and Insurance were big factors.
Used to be decent in Harwich too until some kid jumped off a float to see his mate, fell under the wheels and had his head crushed.

My recollection as a child was that Elvis had had a bit of a revival with Moody Blue but for years had been regarded as a joke only liked by your Dad & other old blokes with greasy hair
As would anyone be if they were off their tits 24/7 and ballooning to a million stone off a diet of fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches

Pubs were open all day for that Jubilee thing weren't they?
Anyway, rocked up to my local wearing wellington boots, fuck knows why as it was a boiling hot day as I remember, anyway as we were all getting steadily smashed my boots were full of beer as my mates kept on filling the cunting things up, plus it had some concrete residue in them, I looked a right cunt sloshing around the gaff
Good times

I came first place in the Jubilee fancy dress competition - dressed as peas in a pod.
I then went on to pick up my parents' drug habit.

I was 2 years old. My mum got hit by a motorbike and spent 3 months in a coma. In that time, Elvis Presley and Marc Bolan left the planet.
