Cortinas 'Television Families'

This classic punk song from Bristol's own new wave act, the Cortinas is one of my favourite records of all time - this video made to go with it is brilliant - until someone digs up the band playing on the local BBC news this will have to do. Please play it -if only to imagine 1977 in Frome, at a disco with about 12 punks throwing themselves about to this while all the rest of the punters just watched open-mouthed. Sometimes we were attacked for our pains but it was all part of the mayhem.
