Bill Osgerby is an author and professor with a focus on modern American and British media and cultural history — with particular regard to the areas of gender, sexuality, youth culture, consumption, print media, popular television, film and music. Amongst other he has published, Youth in Britain Since 1945 and Biker: Style and Subculture on Hell’s Highway The 80s was also the era of the tennis superstar. Tennis legends such as John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg wore polo shirts and shorts from their sponsors, Italian brands Sergio Tacchini and Fila. These and other Italian sportswear brandswere firmly associated with 80s Casuals fashion. The prominent and recognisable logos were worn as badges of pride. A fitting end to a weekend that Martin Carrof the band has scant recollection of “ I remember one thing only. It was when I met my soon to be ex-wife”. Clearly he doesn’t recall his band drinking all of Eat My Dog‘s rider while they were onstage the previous night, but maybe we shouldn’t dwell on that. It’s been overwhelming,” Hewitson says. “One or two well known bands have got in touch wanting to support the project and help out. We obviously need to sell a good percentage of each release so that we can generate monies to re-invest, so it would be fantastic to have some few high profile names do a song now and again...” We arrive at our hotel, the classy Hotel Silken next to the famous gherkin shaped building. In fact, the gherkin is that famous I can’t remember its name, but it looks great from the terrace as we take in the surrounding cityscape and decide whether to take a dip in the rooft op pool. Th e hotel is perfect for us old fogeys, stylish and comfortable. Not one of them cheap and cheerful, ‘it’ll do, it’s only a bed for the night!’ type places for us. Th e younger element thinks it’s cool too, apparently the Arctic Monkeys recorded a video up here.

The ball, then, was firmly in the court of the recently signed three-piece power pop machine that was Top. This fine trio featured the much-missed Alan Wills, later founder of Deltasonic, on drums, PaulCavanagh, now with Mike Badger’s Shady Trio, on vocals and guitar, together with Wills‘ fellow Deltasonichoncho Joe Fearonon bass. Tophad been lauded and courted by just about every label in the country before finally signing to Island. Usually we do not allow this due to resources, but if we have the time to we'll accommodate customers as best we can.

Author Scottie was, and is, a regular football fan... who thought the 80s nurtured a shared, obsessive yearning to remain one step ahead of the terrace fashion curve. And every priceless priceless Lacoste, Fila and Armani designer clobber is now recalled fondly as a 30-yard cup final screamer.

Andy Carrolland future Creamsupremo James BartonDJ’d for the weekend, and Liverpool artist Luke Walsh spent the whole weekend working on an enormous graffiti piece in the venue, while the bands played. Acclaimed Liverpoolphotographer and filmmaker Mark McNultywas brought in to catalogue and capture the mayhem and the madness, and many of his images from the weekend can be found in his book Pop Cultured. Due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic, delivery services may be slightly delayed via Royal Mail & DPD* The sleeve in itself is a piece of art,” he says, adding to Du Noyer’s rallying cry. “If you’re going to listen to a piece of vinyl then you’re taking time out from your daily activities to actually remove the record from the sleeve, place it on the turntable and really listen, rather than throwing an iPod or Spotify on and skimming through thousands of songs which generally have no meaning to the listener.” These days I'm a Spring Court man. Simple french pumps with peppermint soles to prevent smelly feet. Also, as I am from South East London, I still have white Reeboks!!!!!!!!! As we have mentioned, the 'Jayne' T-Shirt image reminds us of the girls from the early days of 'Casual' when the look was basically a new fashion that was moving on from the 70s glam image of wide legged jeans and big collared shirts.

The title of the business is supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek - a bit of everything really - the 80's was, as you know, the era of looking the business and hopefully the film itself, is the business. For some people anyway! The music is from different years throughout the 80's, so it's hard to define a year, but was there was a reason for this? Good question. The main reason the film became a gangster film was because I wanted to set it outside England for the look. I didn't want to make a grey inner city 80's film (as we all remember it) - I wanted to make it look really flash and over the top so I decided to set it on the Costa del Sol, and as we all know there was a big community of gangsters living it up down there in the 80's - so that's why it was a gangster film. I wanted to show the rise and fall of Thatcherism and where better to do it than somewhere that was full of flash people with bundles of cash.

They were purveyors of sweet slices of harmonic and melodious perfect power pop, and Liverpool 1990was only their second ever live show. It was easy to see how and why they’d started such a scrap in the industry, such was the immediacy and purity of the writing involved here, and, second show or not, their various experience in other bands meant that they more than cut the mustard live. With songs like No 1 Dominatorand Buzzinin their baggy pop cannon, it’s hard to understand why Topdidn’t reach far giddier heights and much wider appeal. Rooms within rooms, and a surfeit of nooks and crannies made the venue all the more interesting. On the lower level, a giant hole in the floor featuring an ancient railway engine, it was the only part of the weekend that wasn’tgoing off the rails. Upstairs on the top floor wasone of three bars, with a trippy ceiling lighting effect that changed colours through the rainbow, much to the delight of this gaggle of wide-eyed Scouse space cadets. In the Casual scene music was less important than football. And, as with the Perry Boys, musical tastes could be varied. In Liverpool, however, The Farm became associated with the Casual’s visual style, while the band’s front-man − Peter Hooton − co-founded The End, a local football fanzine that chronicled the vagaries of Casual fashion. Shades of Casual style and attitude also surfaced among the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and other bands associated with the ‘Madchester’ music scene that developed during the late 1980s and early 1990s. An Interview done with local Merseyside blog ‘Sevenstreets’ when our ‘Vinyl Only’ Record Label launched in 2012. Vinyl sales have gone up by 39% in the last two years, up to its highest level since 2005,” Hewitson says. “To me, that confirms that music is an artform that should have tangible presence.”! !
