Marcelle

I'm a Rockin Londoner through and through. I've travelled a bit but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world. I even get excited if I see clips of London on the TV or films, especially old ones.I'm a slave to my wardrobe. Nuff said on that subject.I've had 30 year love hate relationship with Rock n Roll, since I first snuck into the Lyceum Ballroom aged 13. I'll go anywhere that plays Rock n Roll but I like the company of other Teds for a good laugh and they know how to treat a lady! I'm also a real sucker for a nice suit. So I end up travelling outside town to my preferred gigs but not often enough. I'm waiting to pass my driving test for that! Still when it comes to choice you can find something something to go to almost every week in town. I like the Hillbilly Hop run by my mate Leo, Virginia Creepers and dirty ol' Dingwall's on a Sunday afternoon when it ocassionally happens. Also the Boston although you can usaully mop the floor with me by the time I come out of there!I LOVE jiving but I run a mile if anyone tries to Charleston or do those daft swing bits with me. Teddy girls don't Charleston mate!My greatest claim to rockin fame is appearing (aged 15) on the front cover of the album, Rock n Roll is still Alive. It features a group of Teds (see my photos) including Sunglasses Ron Staples and was the live recording of the gig that followed the 1976 Teds march through London. 1-2-3-4 listen to the Teddyboys ROAR!!!
