My wife and I will text and email each other throughout the day.
In the queue outside The Powerstation, a glance at fellow concert goers made it clear this band appeals most strongly to my generation, although more than a handful of fans (infants in their third decade of life) arrived later. The Beat has been around since the late 1970s.
Despite being a decidedly older crowd (the skin heads now a necessity rather than a fashion choice) this did nothing to quell the immense excitement buzzing throughout the room as people revelled in the opportunity to retheir youth .
The obvious link is that John Lydon was first coming to prominence at the forefront of London punk in the 1970s when Coventry’s 2 Tone ska act The Selecter were also hitting the airwaves.
