6 o'clock show Part 1

[@AngloSaxon1]

I loved the late 70s and all through the 80s, all the working class tribes such as Rockabilly, Skinheads, Suadeheads, etc, it was a great time to be alive. I was a rockabilly all through that time, I still am at heart. There is nothing now, things have changed so much.

[@vinnieomahoney6359]

Miss those days, i want to go back and do it all over again, the rockin scene then ruled the London sub cultures, now it’s all dress ups who’ve got no idea about the fifties,

[@karlmay1949]

Loved those days, rockabilly, rock n roll clubs everywhere lol

[@statuescher]

Takes me back, lot’s of faces I knew back then. Great selection from Tom Ingram.

[@patnyabangkok7751]

a lot of people on here are still rockin and on the scene, a few no longer with us , r.i.p.

[@jayspencerbrackell]

I can clearly remember that night like yesterday, i was there with my buddy Alvis, i was never much of a dancer but i tried to see if i was in the background lol

[@SwinginDrummer]

Blimey! There's three future Jive Aces (Ian, Ken and I) in the jiving segment starting at 9.18. Also a lot of our long time friends - Tom Ingram, Mouse, Andy Mckay, Goo, Chang and some of the Dollies (not Vivien though)!

There was another part of this recorded at a pub with the teds as well as an interview with a family. I was a young 11 year old on that filmed in a kitchen.. September 1983 this was recorded. The day I started secondary school..

[@djlittlecarl]

No I haven't. I wonder if anyone has the edited version that was aired on TV too?

[@cooldaddy2877]

the 'Rockabilly generation'.....dont think so. Rockabilly was only a part of the whole scene, perfectly exampled by the comment 'Rockabilly generation' with a Rock'n'Roll/R'n'B/Doowop playing song in the background. Love the Hep Cat look though, I remember it well, suits or box jackets, peg pants, shirt'n'tie, slick hair. The Hep Cats were the coolest looking guys in town.

[@samuelspoons3553]

What were the years for that scene ?

[@cooldaddy2877]

I was around for the original (and best) scene in the fifties. The "revival" scene was from 1976 until the late 80's. It started to dwindle after that but is still alive.

[@samuelspoons3553]

@@cooldaddy2877 I bet the whole Psychobilly scene didn't help matters.

[@cooldaddy2877]

To me it was alien to a fifties type music scene. They had more in common with Punks IMO.

Are you sure that this isn't The Tube?

[@djlittlecarl]
