i remember when slade were skinheads-they came to basildon and played to an audience of 10-skins were quite intimidating back in the day-i liked some of the clothes-but nobs trying to be tough just by being in a gang was sad really-but fond memories of us biker boys playing fistycuffs wit the local skins and suedeheads-"happy days":-}
Well into my 60s now and been skinhead since 1969. I really liked the clobber but to be honest with you all, it was going to my first dance and hearing that magical music for the very first time. I stomped 'till my head spun and I snogged a skinhead girl who was mature and sophisticated to my callow youth, well, I was 14 and she was 17 lol but I was a 6ft 2" tall 14 😂 Watching this terrific video and that tune has made my day. I used to work at EMI back in '79 so I know that shop very well. I remember when it was in it's original location. I'm definitely going to look out for these meet ups.
The Original Skinheads! this subculture is probably the coolest subculture there is. Remember this guys these skinheads listen strictly to ska music and are no racists!! Awesome! Love from Holland!
As a school boy when skinheads were in their prime,walking home from school was fun one end of the street,were skinheads at the other end hells Angel's and a few mods or Perry boys in between, I wish I knew about the music sense, looks cool and looking back the style .
