Yeh. Christ what the hell happened. There was no racism we all loved black music Soul, Reggae and Funk. We just all got on the dance floor together. Somewhere somehow did it all change. Or did we all just grow up and started acting like adults. Having nothing left in common and just being suspicious of each other?

From a very early age I loved ska, skinhead, northern soul (of which I still listen to and dance to today) soul and Motown to raving in the late 80's and early 90s done the lot, what a time to be alive !😊 I was never the conventional, straight laced kid like my boring older brother 😂 My mother still says I was wild and a rebel without a cause, (I thought differently, hated being categorized and controlled by government..and still do) A right handful but looking back I wasn't that bad and came out relatively well all things considered. Best days ever ✊🔥❤

This is an amazing true to life documentary. Thank you for showing skinheads as they really are... A culture solely influenced by black people and music. Thank you for also recognizing the influence or skinhead culture on raves. I have seen and noticing this for years as a 90s era Chicago raver for years but nowone has pointed it out online. The rave dance of "jacking" is just a modified skanking dance. Thank you you are brilliant

When I was a kid in Catford there was a Rude boy Sink who worked in the Safeway. He had dreadlocks and always had on drainpipes, DM boots, Fred Perry T shirt and red braces. He look the business! He had a white mate who had a full on skinhead and cherry red DMs! I thought these guys looked like pop stars! Hahaha

Agree. Black guys were very much in the minority. The music was black but us skins and suedes were white. This was a white working class thing. And Bob Marley was WAY TOO LATE and had nothing to do with skins. It was all finished by the time he had a hit in 73. Wigan Casino and Northern Soul was a later development of the golden age of 68 -70.

Born too late to be a Teddy Boy or a Rocker but was a Rockabilly in East London/Essex, during the late 70s/early 80s Rock 'n' Roll revival. Me and my mates were proud to wear our school blazer collars up and of course our leather jacket collars up outside of school. I had quite a few skinhead and mod friends and we gave each other mutual respect. Mind you, my well known boxing skills probably prevented a few confrontations. Haha! Great times!

Warehouse parties in London were far more of a precursor to raves than Wigan Casino as many of the people that organised the Warehouse parties went directly on to setting up raves... A long time prior to that Southern soul clubs also had all nighters, but for some reason this whole scene has been ignored. Given the size of the community in the south this is amazing.

No the ones I followed were generally local, as in from London. Early to mid seventies (pre-punk) Northern soul and Southern soul clubs were entirely different, music, dancing and even dress. To be honest I don't remember any Northern DJ's from my early clubbing days. That said I am no spring chicken anymore.
