punks in Glasgow. It’s about the music, the fashion, the girls, the

Parents, family, friends, acquaintances and complete strangers have got it

Stranglers, Siouxsie and The Banshees, and The Damned at the Apollo, The
Buzzcocks, Jam, 999 and more. Glasgow readers of a certain age will also
recall locations featured throughout the novel including Satellite City,
Chivagos, the Bath Hotel, Vintners, Shuffles, Listen Records, Bruce’s
Record shop. And Dino’s café!
It’s about the thrill of hearing New Rose by The Damned and early releases
by the Pistols, Clash, Banshees etc.
