Punk is the first music that I ever called my own. I just missed out on the original 77 scene and got into it around 1980. The first gig I ever went to was Discharge at Bowes Lyon House in my home town of Stevenage. Saw loads of great bands there: Black Flag, Bad Brains, Flux of Pink Indians, Subhumans being fondly remembered. However my favourite punk gig was catching Rudimentary Peni at one of their rare live performances.
Today, I tend to listen to a lot of garage punk, 60s and modern with the multitude of bands featuring Greg Cartwright played almost daily in our house.
