I have become a football dad. Okay I was already one last season but that was football-dad-lite and came free. For a start it was, whisper it, a church league. There was always a prayer before kick off and one of the hazards was a certain coach who seemed to enjoy asking me, in a Columbo style line of questioning, to remind him which church we went to. My son’s team, despite being an overspill squad, won the league in what turned out to be a nail biting close to the season. This season he is playing for an eleven a side team and I am suddenly one of the squad drivers. Last week in the car park one of the boys remarked on the soft suspension and I became aware of just how low I had let the tyre pressure get. Now coming from a family of panickers I always get a sinking feeling when confronted with something as simple as a flat tyre. It feels like fate has caught up with me and has decided to show me I was never meant to be a vehicle owner (Our family panicking is well founded and n...

PRESENTATION Hi, my name is Richard Cabut. I’m a writer – I wrote for the BBC for ten years, and contributed to the national press, including Guardian and the Telegraph. Plays. Etc. But I started off, in the late 7 0 s and 8os with a fanzine called Kick. Punk started in the UK in 1976. But As the 1970s turned into the 1980s, punk splintered into factions and entered a period of reinvention. Such a process was traced across numerous fanzines, but Kick was among, it’s been said , the most astute. Configuring punk as a culture of individuality, creativity and rebellion, Kick helped lay the foundations for a ‘positive punk’, a proto-gothic scene that channelled punk’s spirit into more esoteric and expressive channels. This presentation contextualizes the need for a more positive reading of punk in the 1980s and explores the world, of squats, magick and make-up from which Kick and other suc...
