Brilliant ... really reminds me of how it all was back then

Brilliant bring it back PUNK

Really great footage, thank you for posting this, photorikki.

the past is indeed a foreign country! i'd sooner be in that crummy London than the ruthless heartless antiseptic one we have now.

I was there also, in the graveyard when it all kicked off, it was the first time i had seen a rover 3500 police car, and then it got bricked and turned over i was 14 at the time the clash were ment to play on the roof of the car park across from the beaufort market at the start of the film it shows Fabien Kwest of Raped @ 25 seconds, they were also going to play

thanks for the details! I shot this but don't know Fabien Kwest. Thanks again!

excellent! thanks for writing.

yea! I was an American student doing a study abroad program in Bromley at the time. I moved to a squat in London after school.

I was there too. The only reason it all kicked off was the cops manhandling people. Great times!.

Fantastic

I was there! Great memories, my first riot! Shame the bands didn't get to play tho...cant remember who we went to see that nite...long time ago

photorikki I was in your film I'm the punk with the glasses on. Good days banging night. Good times

I was there. Where does time go when it flies?

I was there that day. Always hung out on the Kings road as a punk. x

Does anyone know who filmed this?

The identikit cliched Daily Mail “punks” were out in force all looking the same, not realising they were the antithesis of what the had been about - it was two years dead when this was filmed.

Here we go rocking down the West London motorway And on your left you'll see the tower blocks Built in 1963 With hard cash payments from the GLC And over there you'll see Westbourne Park You don't wanna go there When it gets dark London's burning!

Joe and Johnny cash , rip heroes both .

Who the bird he with at 1:30

I was there, at the market and then when the SPG attacked at the graveyard, I remember the penned in group at Sloane Square breaking through the police lines and running round the back of John Barnes...those were the days!

Uncle Joe in the thick of it!!!

1979 = year zero in the UK. Thatcher wiped the slate clean.

I was there that day. Camden Punks. SPG out in force, dragging us into side streets and giving us a kicking. [Foxy]
