    Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. Punk bands created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produced recordings and distributed them through informal channels. By late 1976, bands such as the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world, and it became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. - Wikipedia

    The theme favoured by The Proud Gallery was “London Calling” the Clash in London. Not strictly true, since one of the 3 important photo-sessions was The Clash in Belfast. The other two main sections were The Clash at the Camden Rehearsal Studios and The Clash under London’s A40 Westway. Maybe it should have been called “UK Calling. The Proud Gallery in Camden is located at more or less the same location as the original Clash rehearsal studios. Aptly named “Rehearsal Rehearsals” it was also my first encounter with The Clash.

    The legend goes that it was the late great Irish music journalist, Bill Graham, who told the late, great Island press officer, Rob Partridge, that U2 were going to be bigger than Thin Lizzy. So it was that Partridge dragged Chris Blackwell away from the Crystal Palace Bowl on a Saturday night in July 1980, where Bob Marley and the Wailers had just mesmerised fifty thousand people, to a south London pub, the Half Moon in Herne Hill, where U2 were struggling to keep the attention of about fifty punters.

    World music came into being after a meeting between the bosses of other British independent record labels (all far smaller than Island) who were interested in promoting new music from Africa or Eastern Europe, and were looking for ways to get their product better displayed in the racks of record stores. If the Bhundu Boys from Zimbabwe were racked under u2018popu2019 next to David Bowie, they argued, the albums would be ignored, and what was needed was a new category. So a new musical genre, u2018world musicu2019, was born. Was it necessary? Well, itu2019s a term that has stuck and has been used in the promotion of hundreds of artists from around the world over the past two decades.
