  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • Roddy Radiation Brings the Vibe to the Parlour
    The Specials’ Roddy Radiation Brings The Vibe To The Parlour Photo by Lisa Gourley On a Sunday it’s common to just stay in, relax and gear up for the upcoming week. This past Sunday at The Parlour was an exception as ska royalty entered the building for what was going to be a righteous time. Founding member and guitarist from English ska legends The Specials, Roddy Radiation, was rolling through town as part of his tour with Baltimore and Washington, D.C. based rocksteady act The Scotch Bonnets, and Providence two-tone soul ska act The Copacetics were opening things up. It was a festive night full of beats, horns and a lovely feeling. If you weren’t at The Parlour then you weren’t at the right place. With the audience’s full attention, The Copacetics took the stage and kicked things off to a rhythmic start. They’re not your typical two-tone band; this gang of seven incorporates hints of jazz, vintage r&b and Motown soul. They showed it on stage with the songs “Time Hard,” “Howl At The Moon” & “Ska Royale.” An extended, jazzed-out version of Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs’ classic “Wooly Booly” was pretty amazing as well. The Copacetics released their self-titled debut album in January and from what I heard live, you should absolutely include it in your music library. With frontwoman Lady Hatchet singing like Aretha Franklin, The Scotch Bonnets had everyone captivated from the first song. Along with Hatchet giving numerous shoutouts to her home state of Rhode Island, this groovy group of musicians exuded a lot of soul and a rockin’ vibe that had me immediately impressed.

  • “Taking It Back, Making It Strong!”: the Boundary Establishment And
    "Taking It Back, Making It Strong!": The Boundary Establishment And Maintenance Practices Of A Montréal Anti-Racist Skinhead Gang 9833181 Department of Sociology McGill University For the Completion of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Program Final Draft – September 25, 2002 Committee Members: Dr. Lucia Benaquisto Dr. Prue Rains Research Supervisor: Dr. Prue Rains 2 INTRODUCTION For nearly two decades, the skinhead subculture has been nearly universally associated with the most vile manifestations of racism and violence imaginable. As evidenced by popular culture1, racism is a fundamental component of the mainstream definition of skinhead. It may come as a surprise, then, to discover that not only did the skinhead subculture emerge from uniquely multicultural and multiracial origins and not only are the overwhelming majority of skinheads non-racists, but that a very significant proportion of participants in the skinhead subculture actively identify themselves as anti- racist. One such grouping of anti-racist skinheads was the Montréal chapter of Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP). Montréal's first SHARP chapter began in 1991 and folded approximately two years later. In 1996, Montréal racist skinheads began a protracted campaign of ambushes and armed assaults on non- and anti-racist skinheads, culminating in a series of "bar raids" in the summer of 1998 that sent over thirty people to emergency rooms. In response to this threat, SHARP Montréal reformed in late July 1998 (SHARP Montréal, 1999) and consisted of a fairly stable group of around two dozen young men and women. As members of an anti-racist skinhead gang2 SHARP members establish their identities as such in both mainstream and subcultural social settings, and, in doing so, 1 Any number of television programs (Law & Order), movies (American History X, Crimson River, Romper Stomper) and even video games (Sony Playstation 2’s Soldier Of Fortune and State Of Emergency) depict skinheads as being synonomous with racists.

  • A Riot of Our Own: a Reflection on Agency Carol Tulloch
    25 A Riot of ouR own: A reflection on Agency carol tulloch Abstract The article is a reflection on the exhibition A Riot of Our Own, an archival narrative on the Rock Against Racism Movement (RAR) that ran between 1976 and 1981. This was told through the exhibition-making collaboration between Syd Shelton, Ruth Gregory and Carol Tulloch. The exhibition drew solely on the RAR personal archive of Shelton and Gregory who were RAR (London) committee members, key contributors to the graphic design of RAR and Shelton took photographs of the movement’s events and contextual material. The exhibition was first shown in 2008 at the CHELSEA Space Gallery, London, and went on tour to venues in London and Croatia. The paper traces the tenacious pursuit of anti-racist agency of RAR that has not lost its historical relevancy in the twenty-first century. What is discussed here is the black and white dynamic of difference as unity against the intolerance of difference that marked Britain during this period; why and how the exhibition A Riot of Our Own was produced in response to an open invitation from CHELSEA Space; the critical, curatorial and auto/biographical frameworks that informed this instance of exhibition-making. As a reflective article by the co-curator and collaborator of the exhibition, the writing of this article is an opportunity to look back on how the exhibition-making process produced new forces – the need to exercise agency as a connecting thread between the impetus of experimentation, the concept of ‘the edge’ and exhibition-making as a liminal space.
