I was a skinhead in the late sixties, and say that to people now, particularly in mainland Europe, and they look at you with horror and disgust, so you need to explain quite a bit....as i remember, most of the most of the working class youth on our estate except for a few of weirdo's who we called 'rockers' if they had any sort of motorbike... and a few of what I would call 'hippies' that tended to come from the better off families, or parents were teachers or something....we even had a black guy in our little crew, with the innocuous name of Adrian... I even remember wearing a prince of wales suit at one point..no wonder my father was pissing himself laughing everytime he saw me..


Setting up to support Desmond Dekker the first time in the 80s was a scary experience.. suddenly realised the place was FULL of skinheads..expected a few, but not an entire audience....but it was normal apparently..

Yes, the entire skinhead fashion got hijacked by the NF/ BNP and it never recovered from there. The ultimate irony always was that skinhead music originally was Desmond Decker and the old school Jamaican ska / reggae. Brighton & Hove Albion always used to have a large skinhead as well as Mod & punk following, well before the kids grew their hair and started to wear pringle jumpers and shout Aciiiid!

the skinhead reunion has a lot of the uk's top ska /reggae dj's last year roy ellis played, this year we have several bands, thommo from madness. we are very consciously ridding the race politics out of the scene entirely, it was a curse, promoted mainly by the media during the 80's
