Following on from a remarkable night in Brixton celebrating the music of X Ray Spex, I'm now travelling down the A23/M23 to Brighton. Add in an element of time travel as well and we arrive in West Street in the centre of Brighton, just up from the seafront. It's 17th March 1978. I would have loved to have been there, but the reality is whilst I am just 10 miles up the road in Burgess Hill, I am three days away from my 9th birthday (if I remember rightly on that occasion I got a Stoke City home kit!) and punk is not to be on my horizon for a few years yet!
Here are X Ray Spex at their height, supported by one of Brighton's finest bands, The Piranhas, themselves a couple of years prior to coming into the national consciousness. The quality is a bit rough, but this audience recording I think brings with is something of the atmosphere of punk gigs at that time.
