Anarchy in the UK @ the BFI

Free Discussion/Forum: London Vs. The Faraway Towns. Take a look at most punk histories and you’d be forgiven for thinking that the King’s Road, the 100 Club, Malcolm McLaren and the Sex Pistols were the only significant elements of the punk movement. Combined with the material in the Mediatheque, this discussion will investigate the affect Punk had on the provincial towns and cities of Britain as well as the capital. Mark Simpson will lead the discussion, with contributions also coming from the writer Alex Ogg (recent Punk history No More Heroes) as well as prominent figure of the 1970s Punk scene Phil Strongman, and punk fan and academic Russell Bestley. 9th June '07 - The Studio @ BFI Southbank - 1800hrs - Free
