Michelle Brigandage is a friend of mine since 1985, and I was fortunate to see her band play recently in Camden Town at the Dublin Castle. ( For a full-set video, please click on the separate RU-vid Channel "Tomorrow's History TV" ).
A few days later, I coaxed her into giving a short interview. She is famous for being photographed at the 100 Club at the Punk Festival in Sept. of 1976, as well as for her band Brigandage, who are playing at the Rebellion Festival on August 1st.
In this interview she talks about what it was like seeing the Sex Pistols in 1976, as one of the few girls in the audience and as an early fan. She has a one-of-a kind perspective and many unique stories. And Michelle is still a punk rocker today. Punk lives!

I remember Brigandage very well, via both John Peel and António Sérgio, down here in Portugal. Very expressive and well-done late 2ndWave UKP82 - actually my remembrances go as far back as 1985, before PFT was released as an album, so the sounds i was listening to were most certainly from the FYM tape-album. True Radio pioneers mind not the means to convey the sensation. As it were... Very nice to meet Michelle on one of your visits.

It's fascinating to hear the stories behind photographs I've seen in books, the music press, and online. I'm drawn to the bloke with the tash and flairs. Obviously not a 'punk' sartorially. He looks pretty typical for the time. But the movement was new and attracted the curious, I'm guessing.
@WhyNotGoPlaces
@WhyNotGoPlaces 3 месяца назад
I'm drawn to him too! I love that photo because it captures the different types who went to punk shows in the early days. The kids like Michelle and her boyfriend were picked out of the audience because they dressed punk, but my guess is that a large portion of the audience looked like the "mustache guy". When I saw the Pistols on American Tour in Jan. 1978, most guys looked like him. Thanks for watching!

A lot of people still looked like that up to about 1984, particularly up north in the uk. As someone who went up north to away football matches in the eary 80s I can confirm flared trousers, perms and taches stood their ground up north long after 1977. In 1980 I went to Manchester to follow my team and it was dangerous as us Londoners stood out like a sore thumb. I found it funny when the Madchester scene revived big baggy flairs in the late 80s into the early 90s and they became hip again as it seems those Stones Roses generation kids just took their elder brothers old pairs out of the loft.

I think of Punk Rock as very much like wine - '76 is a very good vintage. Where is the scan of the Stig at the gig? What was Michelle's impressions of the infamous glass throwing? Not that I like to dwell on such things, but no one seems to tell the same story. Many thanks, great fun to eavesdrop and never tire of tales of Punk London and elsewhere. Glad you're a Prisoner fan too! Very apt that rude language is punishable in that establishment. Unmutual! BCNU!
@WhyNotGoPlaces
@WhyNotGoPlaces 3 месяца назад
Thanks as always for watching! Do you mean the photo of Michelle at the 100 Club? I couldn't find it online but apparently it's in a Clash pink coffee table book. The photo I thought was at the 100 Club was actually at the ICA clash gig. I'm guessing that's in the same book. I forgot to ask about the glass throwing incident! Darn! That was the 2nd night when The Damned headlined. In Viv Albertine's book, she talks about it. She was very close to Sid. She said that at first Sid said he didn't throw it, and then he admitted to her later that it was in fact him. All this is in her autobiography "clothes, music, boys." It's a great book on the early scene. Yes, I love the Prisoner. One day I'll make it to Port Meirion. I did visit the flat in the beginning scene where he drives up in his yellow sports car. That was a thrill. Be seeing you! Maggie

That club was Jazz Heaven , we used to go there every Friday at Midday in the 1990s and it would be old guys doing jazz with a few of us 28 year old jazz kids ha ha . I did used think about the Sex Pistols gig and inside there were photos of The Rolling Stones jamming with Eric Clapton on the walls . Think I played there in 1999, think the Stones played there in 1986 . I saw fusion groups there in 1986. Great club

Thanks for watching another video Mike! How great you got to play the 100 Club! I think they still have lots of jazz concerts there. When we went on the Original Soho Punk Tour (which was very good) the tour director said it's worth it to go inside for a concert just to see the space and the pictures on the walls. I'm glad it's still an active club. So many in the area are now gone, including the Astoria where I worked in the 1990s.

I actually liked their songs, especially Borstal Breakout and If The Kids are United. If I could turn back time, I would have corrected myself in the video. I think what I didn't like at the time, and what Michelle was referring to, was their skinhead fans at that time - they scared me a little. But musically I did like them and I thought Jimmy Pursey had a lot of charisma.

As did we all - so what? They were on an established circuit by 1977, which included (in my hometown) a venue part-owned by Jimmy Saville - and many had signed to major labels. Comparatively few saw them in their earliest incarnations, however, as part of a tiny underground movement.... so maybe that's the distinction you should be drawing?
