Re: Barry Island Bank Holidays in 80's
a great time to be alive and be a teenager NYC
punk / skin / 2 tone / new wave /mod / rockabilly revivals etc
1983 was the end of it which of course gave us the smiths and bunnymen for the rest of the 80's to laud over

When I lived in the N East of England there were 10 pubs and clubs within easy walking distance of my house.
You could guarantee that on any Bank holiday of the year there would be a fight in every single one of them before 6 PM.
That include Good Friday and Boxing day (appropriate name really lol)
It simply wasn't safe to go out on those days, literally.
