‘Cease & Resist - Sonic Subversion & Anarcho Punk In The UK 1979-1986’ examines the anarcho-punk scene from the end of the Seventies to the mid-Eighties. Differentiating from conventional punk chiefly because of the explicit political messaging contained therein, but also because of some incredible musical experimentation by many of its acts, this flourishing underground scene threw up real gems all but unknown to the mainstream. This eighteen track collection gathers up just a handful of them, with tracks by Poison Girls, Flux Of Pink Indians, The Ex, Chumbawamba (long before ‘Tubthumping’!), scene godfathers Crass, and many more.

John Ford in conversation with David Eastaugh

In 1964, Ford joined with some school mates to form a band called Jaymes Fenda and the Vulcans. That November, they released two singles, "Mistletoe Love” and "The Only Girl", both of which were written by Ford. "Mistletoe Love" got some radio play through that Christmas season, but the band split up shortly afterwards.

In October 1966, Ford stepped in to replace the bass player of a South London R&B/soul band called the Five Proud Walkers, and made his debut when the band opened for Champion Jack Dupree. The Five Proud Walkers was a popular club band and played a constant stream of gigs in and around London. But, in the spring of 1967, they toured England with Pink Floyd and decided to make the shift to Psychedelic music. That July, they changed their name to Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera.

Cathi Unsworth - Season of the Witch, The Book of Goth

Cathi Unsworth in conversation with David Eastaugh

http://www.cathiunsworth.co.uk/

As Margaret Thatcher enters 10 Downing Street, a handful of bands born of punk - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and the Cure - find a way to distil the dissonance and darkness of the shifting decade into a new form of music. Pushing at the taboos the Sex Pistols had unlocked and dancing with the fetishistic, all will become global stars of goth.

By the time Thatcher is cast out of office in 1990, the arrival of goth will have imprinted on the cultural landscape as much as the Iron Lady herself.

Now, forty years since its inception, author Cathi Unsworth provides the first comprehensive overview of the music, context and lasting legacy of goth. This is the story of how goth was shaped by the politics of the era - from the miners' strikes and privatisation to the Troubles and AIDS ­­- as well as how its rock 'n' roll outlaw imagery and innovative, atmospheric music cross-pollinated throughout Britain and internationally, speaking to a generation of alienated youths.
