I still find it strange that one of the best venues (at least judging from the gigs hosted in the last few years - I have yet to get back down there for a gig) in Sussex is located two doors down from the school that I went to between 1980 and 1987. Gigs didn't happen in Lewes back then... of any genre (maybe a bit of folk in a couple of the pubs) and certainly not anarch0 punk! For a few months I had bass lessons from a music tutor who worked out of one of the rooms above the Con Club hall. Back in 1985 I had the Subhumans logo on one or two of my exercise books. This would have been about the time of 'Worlds Apart. Missed them at The Richmond then and didn't get to see them until they reformed (very briefly) in 1991 and played at the Venue in New Cross.
One of the great bands to come out of that scene. Everything that Dick Lucas has turned his hand to since the early '80s has been great... Subhumans, Culture Shock and Citizen Fish.
