  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

February 2009 saw the legendary Selectadisc bite the dust after forty years of trading. Twelve months later Funky Monkey on Pelham Street closed, which was a sad loss to local soul, funk and house DJs. Then this year began with OhMyGosh on Mansfield Road shutting up business after several years of serving up fat hip-hop beats. The latter blow was slightly mitigated by the fact that Bantum clothing have taken over the building to sell ace NG-centric t-shirts and hoodies. But all in all this is still a very worrying trend for music lovers everywhere… So when an event like Record Store Day comes along (Saturday 16 April) we decided to throw our full support behind it and celebrate those independent record shops in Notts still left standing.

This is a special commemorative centenary issue which we dedicate to the memory of Robert Louis Stevenson, writer extraordinaire. He was the originator of the concept of Student. He brought out a magazine, the forerunner to Student, at this university, with the idea of its being produced by students, for students. Little d id he realise that his idea was to develop and reach its 100th birthday. This issue is therefore a landmark in the history of student newspapers. The experience of working on Student has also been extrem ely beneficial to many. We hope that you will keep and treasure this historic issue of Student, with its added colour. Look out for Gerry Sadowitz, an up-and-coming Scottish comedian who is currently the toast of the trendies in London.
