I'm sure I bought a black lurex suit jacket from here. He had copper coloured one's too. Can anyone confirm this or is my memory screwed?

Was thay DJ Jay Strongman in the shop?

[statuescher]

Yes that was Jay Strongman at Ken Market at his shop ROCK-A-CHA - there is a potted history on website in his name if you Google.

We used to go to Jay's club the Dirtbox in the early 80's which was an illegal early 'Rave' held in various warehouse and studios locations. Pubs shut at 11 then so it was fantastic to go somewhere without those restrictions!

[johnnyroast]

@statuescher Ah good stuff, I used to go see him at The Mud Club but that was a few years later but recently see him play at the Vintage At Goodwood Festival and was as good as ever!

[oddjobjujitsu]

damnnnnnnn!!! now this does bring back the good times....flip on the kings road , teds corner in or near victoria, ken market was another good one...for me around 1982 ish....

[smartypantsnancy]

Haha I used to get loads of gear from Flip on Curtain St (Rd) near Liverpool Street. Great days and this brings back loads of memories thanks xx

[statuescher]

Yes Curtain Road - The Flip Warehouse where I used to work. It was great being a Rockabilly and able to get first choice on the vintage clothes, Shoreditch was a bit different in those days! Note the graffiti on the wall 'this is hell'! Thanks for positive comments.

[smartypantsnancy]

I remember having a right laugh with two of the boys that worked there.. I wonder if you were one hahaha. It was about 1979/80 and I lived in Stamford Hill at the time. Rockabilly was abit later for me I think......hard times it was then haha blooming heck

[WaltCoogan]

Ha ! Thats me trying that jacket on in Ken market... Wanted to buy it but it was only for show.

[statuescher]

Great to get comments from people who appeared in the documentary - thanks for posting.
