19m · Gelato’s Parlour · 06 May 12:20

Ray speaks of his youth in 1970's London.

A City of subcultures where Teddy Boys , Rockabilly's , Punks,  Skinheads and Mods coexisted. Not peacefully and often erupting into violence. 

Ray talks about his life as a young ted, then later on,  a Rockabilly, growing up in London during the 1970's.

London's youth subcultures are an important piece of history that's often overlooked . 

Ray was there and this is his recollections of those times.
