I'm a son of a squaddie (thats prob why I'm a skin, boots and crops were the norm). Started out as teenage Skunk Rocker (SKinhead and pUNK) into Oi!/Streetpunk as well as Sixties, Seventies and Two Tone era Ska and Mod/ Skinhead Reggae, but by my mid twenties I found I had gone back more to the classic old school Skinhead style of the Hard and Smart image that I originally started out in anyway. I now find I leave my bomber jacket, army boots and T shirts mainly just for the pub, work and Oi gigs smartening up for the DJ nights. Think the days of me mixing mohawks with skin style have long gone by now as well...well i'm pretty sure. Heh heh. I'm still keeping it number 2 clip for the moment. Still wear the polished yet tatty old Army boots I've had since I got into it all at 16, a fair bit too much tho as a size 13 in any other boot is still bloody hard to come by without breaking the bank. If you know where I can get em reasonably affordable then let us know. I spend my days DJing Ska, Sixties Mod and punk classics for free ( I do it for the love...Ahh!) down at the local whilst getting pissed for on their pints. then I do it again at the club night. Apart from that and having been a roadie/minder for Punk bands not much else really except going to gigs, getting gigs sorted out for other bands, trying to keep the band going that I'm in and writing an on and off fanzine. Its fucking scary just how much of my life revolves just around StreetPunk and Ska music. Used to be a right drunken aggro merchant back in the murky past, but I've calmed down a bit since then. I dont touch the stella anymore!! I'm now a friendly drunk instead! once I get someone to show me how to work the scanner I'll whack some of my own snaps on!

My Interests

I'm repeating myself but here goes..SKA, Reggae, OI! Northern Soul, sixties guitar bands music and BEER. going down the pub, playing a few games of pool and usually loosing. bemoaning my lot in life as the hangover kicks in. trying to get me band limping on.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet up with anyone, Punk Skinhead or just Herbert who's into good Ska, Reggae,(even a bit of dancehall) and street punk really (and I mean STREET Punk! not this watered down pop shite that's become popular with the Rancid wannabes or racist Heavy metal Bonehead shite!!!) NO FUCKIN BONEHEADS!! Would've liked to have met Judge Dread but he's sadly long dead now. Oh yeah, dont bother to friend request me if your any of these; emo/folk/acoustic/grunge/power pop/ pop punk band as I'm not a promoter of crap and I hate your music, or if you're a trendy student as a denial often offends. ..

Music:

bands like the Business,The Upsetters, Toots & The Maytals, Laurel Aitken, Simaryp, Jimmy Cliff, The Pioneers, Judge Dread, The (early) who, Skatalites Sham 69, The Exploited, Blitz, 4 Skins, Deadline, Bad Manners, Madness, The Specials, The Jam, The small faces, the list is endless. It isn't all Oi, Reggae and Ska I also like a bit of Northern Soul and the odd Hardcore band from the old days.

Movies:

all the classics- Take it or leave it, Dance Craze, Suburbia, The Long Good Friday, The Harder They come (bloody classic), Romper Stomper (it aint all bad), Get Carter, Scum, ID, The Football Factory, 16 years of alchohol...hmm there's a lot more but I cant think of the titles right now.

Television:

not much on that I watch at the mo, life on mars is good and so are the repeats of the Avengers. apart from those I dont see a lot of Telly.

Books:

the mighty "Spirit of 69 a Skinhead bible" by George Marshell, Anything to do with History (sad isnt it), any books on reggae punk music, "Oi Stories", got a load of those old pulp fiction skinhead books as well that I picked up on the boot sales knocking bout somewhere in me room. The Chopper books by the man himself Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read.

Heroes:

Judge Dread. nuff said
