Punk. London.1977. Most people blinked and missed it. Many spent a
decade trying to catch up. Derek Ridgers stumbled across it by
accident, where it was, in the beating filthy heart of the Roxy in
middle of a derelict slum called Covent Garden. Stumbling through
the moshpits trying to keep hold of a borrowed camera. 1977. Punk
London brings you 152 pages of photography featuring the birth of
the the most exciting cultural phenomenon in UK history. Currents
and vibes, flows and backwash, trends and anti-trends splashing
around in the cauldron of youth culture in the city of London, and
the lost rebels haunting their suburban bedrooms - jumping the
train uptown to get into the legendary Roxy. All converged, for one
priceless moment, an outpouring of a truly original, DIY, anarchic,
underground scene. Ridgers captured the first wave. Kids in the
crowd, never before seen. The punks who made their own clothes
because you couldn't buy punk clothes. The punks who got beaten up
time and again for making themselves into targets. Rebellion before
it got easy. You won't see these kids anywhere in the magazines.
They weren't trying to get famous. 1977 will happen again. 1977 is
happening somewhere, for someone, right now.
