A book about the 1977 punk band Menace (and arguably godfathers of Oi) and more by Paul Marko author of the The Roxy - London WC2 book.
This is the red second edition that contains an extra moving and personal chapter by Morgan's ex ex-wife Chrissie Pepper, about the man and his death
With a foreword by the acclaimed and influential Mark P of Sniffin’ Glue and ATV fame, the book comprises some 516 pages and is packed with photos and stories from the band, fans and key people from arguably the most exciting, creative, fast moving but also violent and turbulent time of youth cultures and how a 1977 punk band keeps going into the 2020’s.
“Not every Punk band was the Sex Pistols or The Clash. But Menace were there in the great Punk wars of 1977; three working class boys from Islington London and a Canadian with a story to tell as much their own as the amazing variety of characters they met on their journey.
