1979

A lt happened in the year 1979. It's the year that for many people killed off punk, with the rise of post punk and the nail in the coffin was London Calling by the best band in the whole world ever The Clash. It saw debuts from many of the established punk bands that are still around today, or at least the ones who split up when punk died and then re-emerged due to the bank manager knocking on their door.

One of the main figures in the music scene, a man responsible for giving a lot of early press to punk and new wave was mr John Peel. Who turned my dad as well of a lot of young people at the time onto The Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Clash, The Jam, The Ruts and The Undertones as well as rock classics and dub cuts. I have never paid this man a tribute apart from once on instagram cos I didn't know how to and then I came up with this and it seemed to work a treat.

So above you see before you the festive 50 of 1979 in the cut out and facial hair of the true man myth and legend Mr John Robert Parker Ravenscroft OBE aka John Peel. Thank you for the music
