Rock This Town: A New Wave

The 80’s was a new decade and things had changed - really changed! - big hair, yuppies, money, greed, computers, video games, AIDS, and of course music! Rap, Hip-hop, Punk, New Wave, Heavy Metal, Synth- pop, and a second British invasion etc. etc. Some people loved it - others hated it. KW was again rocking with fiercely devoted music fans and a new wave of music concerts: UB40, Simple Minds, Iggy Pop, Psychedelic Furs, Guns & Roses, Public Enemy, The English Beat. The Cult, The Clash etc. The clubs were hopping: The Back Door, Upstairs at the Kent, The Coronet, Pop the Gator and Lulus and the stories that go with them.
