1977 Punks vs teds

A very short clip from the Kinolibrary collection,obviously 1977 or thereafter. An example of how the ted-punk rivalry wasn’t all about fighting.

Kim Holland (YTcomm) 2017 “Not the kings road. This is cardiff. I know the teddy boy. It.s steve.”

The punks’ accents are London-like but the little we hear of the ted (at 0:09) supports Kim Holland’s assertion that he was Welsh.
