This was my third visit to a gig in Colwyn Bay, and a few years since that fatefu Black Flag riot! This time it was to attend a Scooter Rally on the Pier. Spike and Tony came with me and we joined up with some of the Colwyn crew. We were most certainly the punks in the corner speeding like a jet as the soul boys did their 360s on the dancefloor to the wall to wall Motown being pumped out. Desmond Decker was on the bill (oooh ohh my Israelites), and he kept referring to Tony and Jon (bloth black dudes) as his brothers.
There was a smattering of skinheads who showed their true colours when the DJ (naively) put on a Skrewdriver record and six or seven of these boneheaded boots ‘n’ braces had the dancefloor to themselves. I thought ‘fuck this’ and got up and danced like a chicken amongst them. I expected a good kicking from the National Front, but not one of them challenged me.
