I'm a punk but I like Elvis Presley and rock and roll music

[@katimartinezmartos8021]

Y yo soy una chica rocker rockabilly desde 1988-1989 pero me gustan mucho ciertos grupos punks como The Clash,Reincidentes en España y muchos otros. Saludos y buena música del tipo que sea...

[@stevenford727]

Long live Rock n Roll and Rockabilly.

The teddy boy days were fun, happy times where young people simply enjoyed the music and actually danced together. We had work, spent our money on clothes, a beer or three, dated girls, bopped the night away and then back to work on Monday and then along came a mortgage, family and routine. You can witness in these videos, we actually smiled and would you believe it, had conversation with our friends. Coffee bars and motor bikes, big cars and Craven A, friendships that lasted beyond midnight, drainpipes, brothel creepers and petticoats, politics were for others, we had Rock & Roll.

[@HaroldWayneSaxtonJr-bd8vk]

If I had grown up in the UK., I' would've been a Teddy Boy, but I grew up in the southern part of the US and I love Blues and Hillbilly music . Rockabilly Rules !

Great days, I was a member of the Chosen Few MC at the time and often frequented the Bailey Bar before heading to The Pound Club. Big Bear was always there, and still see him the odd time at the custom bike show in Belfast, keep on rockin'!

Great sound and movie

[@rockinblue]

Brings back a lot of good memories, nice to see myself making a few appearances in the video.

[@sharpey1308]

what memories the crazy quavers at the pembroke halls 18 years old and what a day

[@michaelpearson4152]

nice to see the Belfast boys great looking scene. we had and still do a great scene in Edinburgh Scotland we had the Glasgow boys and some of the guys from Newcastle in England used to come up to Scotland and party and we used to put them up at our houses the chicks never get much of a mention but the girls looked great and sexy looking.

[@melaniehaigh61]

fantastic, great to see all old friends and love, how young were we all then, again fantastic job marty

[@Oggie60]

There is some cracking music here!

[@cyntrask0802]

Lloyd Dutch: Great attitude!!! Feel the same, when all these mainstreamers stare at my oldfashioned clothes and hairstyle... but, actually, I enjoy it, makes me feel to be a more interesting person than they are. And I love discussing about music with people in my age, funny that they havent got a real reason for why they listen to this modern crap. May the Teds live forever, hail hail Rock'n'Roll!!!

[@Terry-wp6iw]

Great video!

[@stevenwesson1163]

Bravo+ Brilliant! Reminds me of 1970s Coventry. Like the Crazy Cavan song.

[@lois4911]

sorry i pressed wrong button. i loved Cavan and still do and always will ! I Was in the cov rebs ! in the 70s. God bless Coventry

[@williamricknell6292]

Who sings ”True Love” in the start??? 🤘🏻

[@russellbree6458]

Was a Ted in NZ great times but violent as fuck

[@HaroldWayneSaxtonJr-bd8vk]

@@russellbree6458 Rockabilly scene in the US gets violent too. Flick knifes , chain belts and all that. But usually just old fashioned jaw knockin' parties lol. But thats for the youngsters . Most of us older cats just wanna drink , dance and get home safely

[@fabienflahaut9811]

c set sa la vie ::::lme rock n roll

[@greaserfred]

Great video well done

[@jenky2469]

Enjoyed this watching this video as myself and a few others are actually in it several times. Also noticed that a lot was copied from the short film made by the Northern Ireland arts council called Greenisland Rock back in the early 80s as i have the Original video that they made.

[@santuccilaeticia3814]

Who singing '' true love '' in this video please

[@cooldaddy2877]

you can always tell an original '50's Teddy Boy from the Showaddywaddy clowns of this era (as seen here). Nothing beats the original style. We didnt have bright blue, red and pink drapes, never had skin tight trousers, never had exaggerated sideburns almost touching our chins, never had thick soled brothel creepers, never had tattoos, ear-rings or hair onto our shoulders. Showaddywaddy have a lot to answer for. On a positive note, the original style is making a little comeback.

[@annehopwood2994]

I agree...The 50s Teds were better...smarter and more handsome...❤

[@billbearback2591]

no need for hate brother , if your a 50's ted you'd have to be ,what 75 or 80 ? me thinks not , the scene is different now in the 20's to the 00's to 90's , 80's, 70's ,,50's give it a rest champ , in oz we'd call you a wannabee or simply wanker, cheers from down under

[@cooldaddy2877]

@@billbearback2591 No hate here my friend just an honest evaluation. If you cannot take someones personal opinion without using insults then please go elsewhere. You are accurate about my age, so what? I do not do insults as we have far too many for Australians and we would be here all day and night. Long live freedom of speech. G'day matey!

[@billbearback2591]

@@cooldaddy2877 take a look at your own comment , your a legend in your own mind , you put shiite on youngers that follow coz in delusion you hold a superior view on their interpretation of rockabilly genres , your a "50's ted " , i think not , i still doubt your 80 years old , but dont really care anyway , freedom of speech lol as you tell others to go elsewhere ,you mock youngers that live a subculture and nobody can tell you what they think of your views , insults for ausies lol , half oz has irish background as i do , i had no ridicule of irish only an opinionated supposedly " 50's ted " ridiculing younger generations that put their own stamp on subculture , you dont hold the keys to the kingdom , like ridiculing their bright coloured drapes , in 50's oz they were called zoot suits ,not 1930's black / latino suits but an oz rockabilly interpretation of zoot suits that were more ted drape looking , so different strokes for different folks, vaya con dios

[@rar0t0nga]

I grew up in the 70's and, for a long time, thought that the Teddy Boys of that era simply copied the original 50's look. Recently, on a nostalgic whim I wanted a pair of creepers just like the ones I grew up with, only to discover from a book by Ray Ferris and Julian Lord that the original (George Cox, I think) creepers had soles of no more than one inch thick! I learned a lot about the original Teddy Boys from that book and, as you say, the 50's Teds didn't sport ultra long sideburns or wear brightly coloured drapes etc. Bit of an eye opener as I grew up with Showaddywaddy, Mud, etc. ! I think Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood kind of highjacked the original look and exaggerated it for punk, maybe. Still, I grew up in the 70's, so for me a pair of thicker crepe shoes was nostalgic, and I eventually found a pair and bought them! Not the original 50's look, but a part of my own youth I guess, which is what I wanted. The book is a really good read!

Anybody heard of Jim & Robin Truesdale from Glengormley back in the early 80’s?

[@LloydDutch]

Thanks man,never saw it that way, you made my day mate. I have alot of fun, I really enjoy all the music and banter I have with other people, there is always an initial barrier what with them wondering why i am dressed in such a way, but hell, if we based our liking of humans on appearance only then we would be a lonely people.

[@LloydDutch]

Damn right man, nice to see a fellow Ted.

[@stevenford1584]

This vid reminds me of the rock n roll scene in the 80s in West Bromwich
