'Roxy Club' Book featuring Stranglers & Finchley Boys



The Roxy London WC2 – A Punk History by Paul Marko

Yep after 2 years of slog I've finally finished the history of the UK's most infamous Punk club. There's a few Stranglers bits in it (those that know me of the www.punk77.co.uk site know my feelings about the band) - including JJ quotes, when the Finchley Boys met Sid and the Stranglers being robbed. Missed out was the Roxy gig when Jet drummed badly and discussions about his replacement aired and then forgotten.

Anyway here's the guff...

Quote:
On New Years Day 1977 the first UK club devoted exclusively to Punk opened with the Clash. By its closure in April 1978 nearly every major and minor Punk act and face had passed through its doors. Here is its history told by the bands and clubgoers from the time; of music, youth, fashion, drugs, violence and gangsters.

With over 500 pages, 250 photos, unseen diaries, memorabilia and memories and with a foreword by TV Smith of the Adverts this book is pure Punk Rock!


Available from the author priced £16 (inclusive of Postage & packing)

I like your site - full of info - a proper labour of love there! Hats off to anyone who is proactive, as opposed to those who 'bystand' and sit there watching all the others...

Can't you get your mother to help you with the big words? I find that and a reading card helps. Mind you your mother's not always available.
