Jim Driver: Forgotten 1980s Pub Venues That Built British Rock!
It’s really cricual – to say the least – that these historical inside views are being shared – we lack a system of historical narration as far as such socially “biotopically complex” structures such as the pubs and insider locations are concerned, etc. (Anarcho-)Punk depended on this. So it’s great to see insiders such as Jim Driver creating sources.

Just came across this new publication: Press, Publishers, Releases The anarcho-punk lives of the Centro Iberico, 1971-1983
Back then I didn’t know that this place was run by Miguel García García. I just knew about the subversive awesome reputation met with what you’d be able to encounter.
