Saw Crazy Cavern in Brixton about 1976, also used to go down the Castle in Elephant and Castle I think it was Thursday nights for Rock N Roll, in the 70's, Great times
That's great, as a Basildon guy that was a Southend Ted in those days (70s), We loved them, thought they lived south Wales, maybe not. They were the highlight of Saturday night in the pier bar on pier hill Southend... happy days, there then to Baz cafe on the front and fall asleep on the beach. They were the best, Cheers tonyswww
Hi Again you Could have Been Thinking about Crazy Cavan! When you Mentioned Wales...as they are from there,you will find Both Bands on my Site! bye the way I was also a Young TED in the 70's and Knew Southend Pubs Etc. there were some Great moments there with Skinheads and Punks! those were the innocent Days! Now it's all Guns! and gone Stupid!! Take Care...and Keep Rockin!
Three Rabbits Manor Park - Lion & Key Leytonstone - The Green Man Leyton to name just a few...East London certainly had a load of Rockin' pubs way back when....Nuffin like now !
Hi again! Looks like we went to the Same Places! and a similar Age! as far as the TED'S vs Rockabilly,s thing goes...the TED'S I knew and being one myself never had much of a problem with it! we all liked the same Music! it was only when Punk came in and the so called Rockabilly's Started wearing Very Loud Hawaiian Shirts,and dying there Hair Pink,Blue, Orange etc. that things started to get out of Hand! ( But these were not Rockabilly's they got Named Punkabilly's )
