Gutted that I am not around for this one. This looks to be a great event coming up in Hertford. Marking punk's big birthday, the Brothership Studio in the town is hosting a couple of events on 28th November, kicking if with a solo set from Steve Drewett of the Newtown Neurotics followed later in the afternoon by a Q&A with photographer Kevin Cummings through whose camera lens fifty years of Manchester's musical history has been documented. The afternoon session is compered by poet Cherry B. In a paid event in the evening Don Letts will be doing that thing that DJs do.... possibly recreating a night behind the decks at the Roxy back in Year Zero. Maybe.
So, unfortunately in terms of punk rock's 50th anniversary celebrations it's Hertford 2-0 Harlow (if you include the Ruts DC gig during the week). Maybe something can be done to redress the balance in 2028 between Bishops Stortford and Harlow centred around the Stortbeat Records 'scene'.
