The KKK took my baby away the Ramones 1981

 When the children were young we used to have a cassette of Ramonesmania in the car. This one was on it. Watch here

Most of the later songs which we didn't know we're rubbish but this track was good. The kids did grow up to like the Ramones naturally. 

Clothing and Landscape by Rachel Worth

 Recommended by Anthony L. Dawson.

At the beginning of the Victorian period, most of England's population lived in the countryside; by its end, the balance had tipped towards living in urban and suburban spaces. In the context of this rapidly changing world, Rachel Worth explores the ways in which the clothing of the rural working classes was represented visually in paintings and photographs and by the literary sources of documentary, autobiography and fiction, as well as by the particular pattern of survival and collection by museums of garments of rural provenance. Rachel Worth explores ways in which clothing and how it is represented throws light on wider social and cultural aspects of society, as well as how 'traditional' styles of dress, like men's smock-frocks or women's sun-bonnets, came to be replaced by 'fashion'. Her compelling study, with black & white and colour illustrations, both adds a broader dimension to the history of dress by considering it within the social and cultural context of its time and discusses how clothing enriches our understanding of the social history of the Victorian peri

Battle of the Beanfield 1985

 

This happened in June 85. Wiki I remember sitting in my parents' garden with our baby in the sun and my Mum (who was a Justice of the Peace) knew there was a big police operation going on and was listening on the Police radio. Vans and vans of police went by. Our friend Duncan was there and was arrested. He was at that time part of the traveller community.

The Fall Lay of the Land 1984 OGWT

 Album on Spotify released October 84

Here. TV was November 40 years ago. This was a time when I wasn't very interested in punk music but I remember Duncan raving about this performance. The Wiki on the album claims the chanting is derived from the Quatermass Conclusion. I remember this show. Quatermass is set in a near future in which large numbers of young people are joining a cult known as the Planet People who gather at prehistoric sites, believing they will be transported to a better life on another planet.

Men without hats Safety Dance 1982

 This song I completely missed when it came out. We discovered it when it was introduced to us by our hosts when we visited Denmark. These young Goths loved it and we had to agree. Filmed in Wiltshire (not too far away from here) the video was. Hit in 83. Apparently written after being thrown out of a club for pogoing.

Earliest photo of Radstock

 Mining was already established by the 1860s when this photo was taken. This is before the railways came. In the distance you can see the Waldegrave arms which is still there but renamed the Radstock hotel. 

A fine smock

 Before mining started in Radstock in 1763 it was a typical Mendip village with sheep being farmed. We have a bridge called sheep wash bridge from those times. 

"Haymakers" by George Stubbs, c. 1785.

No smocks. A bit early for Haymaking. I did it once as a lad. Sweaty work. Moving haybales about into a trailer then into a barn.

This is an HTV children's ghost story which has a connection with the Bristol riots of 1831. A ghost based on  Thomas Brereton who commanded the King's forces during the riot and was made a scapegoat and killed himself during the court martial.

From Steve Moriarty on the group King of the Rumbling Spires

 Taken from a French article published in March 1972 in a French-Canadian pop newspaper called Photo-Vedettes.

Paul McCartney: "T.Rex and Marc Bolan are my favourite artists. They are the only British group I like because they really prove above all to be original. I must admit that I preferred Marc Bolan during his acoustic period, nevertheless, his electric albums are wonderful. Bolan is the only British singer who can follow the Beatles' success in America."

John Lennon: "In today's pop music, there are only two things that interest me: rock 'n' roll and avant-garde poetry. Only one group today is of interest to me, Marc Bolan and T.Rex. He is the only one who has excited me and I look forward to meet him again. His music is good rock 'n' roll; it has good beat and it really swings. But it is mainly his lyrics that amaze me. His way of writing is new and I have never read lyrics as funny and as real as his. Apart from few American exceptions, Marc Bolan is the only one that has caught my attention and I believe his mythology is real as well. He will release a book of poetry in the near future and I look forward to read it again and again. Marc Bolan is the only one who can succeed to The Beatles."
