Rebellion Blackpool: Day 1

[@elizabethtetley2526]

Hello Stephen, its always so lovely to tune in to your channel. You have done more for Blackpool than all the council put together. You have shown everyone a true & enlightening guide to Blackpool. Ur a legend

[@jahwobble5214]

Love Blackpool!!! and as a regular at the festival I love the atmosphere too

[@waynecheshire7878]

Great to see them all enjoying themselves 🧷

[@philipwells7686]

I saw quite a few punks and rockers whilst driving through Blackpool tonight on the way to work but like you said Stephen never any hint of trouble all out to enjoy themselves

[@cannonfodder6654]

Love Stephens enthusiasm, every town needs a guy like him as an ambassador 👍🏻

[@outwithem]

Great video Stephen, I spotted some friends on there too :) I'm really loving your channel!

[@bobmiller7502]

As a old punk (60) it does my heart well seeing it still alive, Keep on keeping on my brother

[@66meikou]

Glad to see investment in the town centre. I bet that place will be bangin this weekend.

[@user-oq5ut5lw4e]

🎉Lve watching you Stephen xccx

[@BenStone_]

I can remember Blackpool fans coming to Turf Moor Burnley in the late 70s all singing "Harry Potts Punk rock army " Norbreck Castle was a cracking Punk venue back in the day. Great channel 👍

[@BenStone_]

"Turning Rebellion into money " as The Clash would say.

[@junelaw4162]

I hope the weather is kind for the weekend for rebellion I love seein the hairstyles think that busker was there last year 😊 till the next one 😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes I remember him from last time June.

[@user-vc5mc5uv4u]

thanks for another great video Stephen the weather here has been nice as well

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Gosh it's soon crept round again, I remember last years videos. I always love seeing the punk fashion and the colourful mowhawks at rebellion. Less policing needed for the punks in comparison to events like young farmers. Great video Stephen

[@jennybates]

And less chance of the winter gardens being trashed.

[@kArtoffelkooperative808]

thanks for the video. I come from germany, and this year I wanted to go there for the first time. it did not work again. I love these colorful people. . . THANK YOU.🥰

[@Wearenotreallyhere]

There’s never any trouble because punks WERE never any trouble, we were merely the targets FOR trouble.

[@rosiew1952]

great video Stephen , went to the Rose&Crown every night when we were on holidays years ago. it was great there, couldnt cope now with all those people though.

[@waynepaxford7263]

Great video Stephen keep up the hard work up mate

[@vintagemovielover4511]

As an late 70s early 80s kid saw punk in our hometown always bit wary 😂, wondered what happened to them all, years since seen a proper spike hair punk so they do still exist.

[@gavindouglas7020]

Thank you Steven for giving Britain and the British people hope

[@tomwalmsley1149]

the punks are spectacular

[@mildredschulz]

Hi Stephen. Great video. as you say there’s always something going on in Blackpool. Looks like the weather is better now and the storm has gone over. Hope it stays like that with all the people in Blackpool this weekend. Looking forward to seeing your next video. 💕💕😎👍💕💕

[@edwardharrington678]

Hello Stephen. That was a very good video and recognised all the places shown especially the Rose and Crown where my wife and I always visit.We were there one year when the punk rockers were there and they were all so friendly. Happy days.

[@CockWomble1000]

The Sex Pistols 💚🇬🇧🎧

[@victordevonshire807]

These will be classics in the future from a southener. 👍

[@frippp66]

a nice bit of rebellion always improves the atmosphere 👹

[@juliebilson6897]

I have been watching you all day you rock

[@frothe42]

The only time I would see punksters would be riding the subway in New York City! Cool to see some still rocking it! Always an interesting crowd.

[@245bennyboy]

Well if the Council had their finger in the fountain it would stop it working! Your pulled their finger out comment made me chuckle😂

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Good one!

[@clairebunt5887]

BRILLIANT love it wish I was there ❤❤

[@robertbrown5753]

[@juliec70]

Great video Stephen, some friends of mine are there for the Rebellion 😊x

[@juliebilson6897]

Thanks Stephen

[@mikesaunders4775]

One of the best urban documentaries I have seen. It shows Blackpool in a more interesting way than a thousand official tourist promos. Subscribed.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sharonellis8776]

Good to see the town so busy. xx

[@sharronlewis3429]

[@SHARAP-yv6yl]

I go to Blackpool regularly. I've already been 5 times this year. Every time I go I always look out for you Steve. Would be nice to meet you in person. Been watching your channel for a few years. Maybe one day I'll get lucky

[@moonagedaydream4489]

What a fantastic atmosphere Stephen, and it will be even better over the weekend. I thought Busking Joe was brilliant, I bet he will make quite a bit of money. Great video, looking forward to seeing your coverage of Rebellion over the next few days xxx

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Moonage xx

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Another Brilliant video Steve im in town this weekend Hope to Bump into you Not literaly i hope!!🤣👍

[@nigelspeller1850]

Stephen , hope you're well , you look well

[@Alexander_Stevens]

I remember Rawcliffe’s, only went once a year, every August! 😊

[@juliemcgarty4764]

Thanks for video stephen

[@bcegerton]

I was up there today Stephen, looks like around the time you were there, I bet we passed each other as I walked back up to see “Busking Joe”, a few of the punks that were there in the video were there when I was, it was a little busier too, I’d passed him as he was setting up as I was parked further up. I couldn’t make it last year as Brazilica Samba Festival in Liverpool was on on the Saturday, same this year and I can’t manage both so close at the minute. So, the time before that it was on would have been 2019 as 2020/21 it wasn’t on due to Lockdown and it seemed a lot busier then, seen a few faces from 2019 today that I’d taken photos of too.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

There's a good Co-op supermarket somewhere around North Station too as I recall but nothing near South Station!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

The Coop is on the corner of Abingdon St, near the end of the video.

[@INDENTUREDTRADER]

What about the old nightclub “The Touchdown” anyone remember that, that was there around the 80’s just near the old Bus station.

[@adeh503]

Wow that's come around quick again Stephen, doesn't seem 5 minutes since your last report on this

[@RAFchurchlawford4469]

REAL rebels would NOT be seen dead in Costa Coffee after their latest advertising campaign 11:36

Talbot was a great comp

[@nigelspeller1850]

Well said Elizabeth

[@zulfqarali905]

Hi Steven keep it up blackpool greatest son ali walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it

[@jennybates]

Theyll "invade " the compass cafe, tomorrow.

[@1fredq1]

Did you know that the first punk rocker DID NOT appear in the 70's? I think it was sometime in the early 60's when a little old lady first looked in the mirror and said "I think I'll have a blue rinse".

[@rothesaylad]

With Wilco on the brink of collapse,what’s going to happen with the new build?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Prob become a Poundland or something.

[@Photofinish43]

Tesco might go into Wilko plot as they were originally going in by Specsavers.

[@robertboughton11]

Hi Stephen

[@jonstaveley8355]

Is that Dave the lead singer of the Bad Apples? What a legend.

[@Swordy69]

When you having your mohican haircut steve?great video keep em coming

[@masere]

Looks like you won't be getting the new Wilko, but hopefully something similar like B&M or Home Bargains. And looks like the weather is going to get better late next week, just in time for the Airshow 😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

We shall see

[@michelles2299]

RIP Dame Viv 🇬🇧🙏

[@Gail-o3f]

be a bit more busy for this and airshow 😊

[@KarenFindley-ov7zs]

Do you know of a good b and b in the quieter areas of Blackpool preferably close to the pro

[@jayoneill1533]

Those Punks are starting to look a bit old but aren’t we all? Time and tide wait for no man…

[@frothe42]

I think some of younger generation will pick it up and carry it on.

[@willjohnson1980]

I wonder if Peter Wright the dart player is there?

[@billy4072]

Ah. I was hoping it was going to be a Wat Tyler style rebellion 😥.

[@nigelspeller1850]

Any blue plaques in Blackpool ? So forth used to live here or was born there type thing

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

There are many. I have featured quite a few in my videos.

[@williamobrien188]

Great video Steven my team are winning can you believe it haha hibs 6 ESC 0

[@kathleenmccarroll3755]

Hi Steven is the victory pub still in caunce Street,?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes Kathleen.

[@willjohnson1980]

Hope busking Joe is not copyright 😂

[@audiocoffee]

when you think about the original punks from way back, most of them would now be in their early 60's now. jokes on them - balding and no longer able to sufficiently pogo and arthritic.. not a threat 🤣 handy if you need a safety pin though 🤣 I wonder if the ones that still have hair, spike their look with superglue like they used to do?

[@wayneprice2737]

What was the hotel opposite blackpool station in the 70s.

[@graemenicol6377]

Has the Tache nightclub got anything to with the Tache above the Rose and Crown ?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

There is a connection.

[@lezbriddon]

whats parking like for visiting blackpool? if I jump in the (medium sized) camper and pop over this week to do the lights and wanted to make it a 2 / 3 day visit how would i do it?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

You can park on the promenade free from 8pm-8am. If you want to stay off the promenade, the car park next to the Savoy Hotel at Gynn Square is popular for campers. There is also the coach & camper van car park at Central, which you can see on my Hibs Football come to Blackpool video.

[@lezbriddon]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool decided to be totally silly and come for the switch on weekend so parking will now be even worse! Not helped by not being able to walk long distances but if I can park say upto 2 miles out southwards then I can cycle the rest, and even cycle the lights..... (Lez, really relay camping)

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@lezbriddon Hampton Road Social Club is worth a look if you need a hook up. It’s on Lytham Road just south of the railway bridge, Pleasure Beach area.

[@lezbriddon]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool ahh I I like the occasional hookup but in usually ok for power with the big solar, only thing that stops it looking like an old builders van, which is how I usually manage to park anywhere....

[@mikestravelshow]

Lee copied you by saying it's all kicking off but in Mansfield 😆 🤣 Wilko will go bust. More empty shops in our towns & cities. Amazon putting these high streets out of business. An absolute disgrace 😤

[@paulmc612]

How much did U give that busker 10p wowsers 😂😂😂😂

[@stephendonkin5497]

This an annual event Stephen

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes, Stephen

[@scottmcculloch2190]

I bet some of them have got professional jobs as well. Don't judge a book by it's cover and all that. I mean I look normal and sensible but I'm a bit of a twat. 😅

[@punkrockuk1970s]

Hi, do you mind if I use your Rebellion videos on my punk channel as I can't manage this year
