Slaughter & The Dogs … that is memories, specifically their biggest and epic hit “Where have all the Bootboys gone?<\/em>” (thanks to Decca records 1977). But not only that: They hail from Whytenshawe (dubbed “The Skinhead Capital of the North<\/em>“) and that is not only part of my work history ( i have spend quite some weeks over the years in a bunker like office on Rowlandsway) but also a troubled large council estate (“extreme pocket of social deprivation and alienation<\/em>” was a line from a non-UK paper).<\/p>\n

\"Rowlandsway
Rowlandsway House – Office brutalist style (or in defense of the hoodlums)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My memories are not that bad: A tough area with quite some street crime but also friendly people and some nice (though maybe dodgy) pubs.<\/p>\n

Nevermind, it was Wednesday and them Dogs made one of their few strolls to Hamburg and it was in my preferred Club downhill so i was on. On too (and providing some of the backline i believe) where the Cock-Ups from Hamburg. They faced the fate of all local support bands – a rather empty space in front of them.<\/p>\n \n
