Episode 7 - Politics and Dancing in the 80's and 90's - special guest - Neil Transpontine
Description
For the seventh episode of Tales From A Disappearing City I am joined again by
Neil who produces a couple of respected blogs that have consistently documented all aspects of what we cover on TFADC. "Transpontine" features all things subcultural from the South side of the river whilst "History is Made at Night" turns it's attention to the after hours. In this episode we discuss Neil's move from Luton to the London squat scene in 1987, his subsequent experiences dancing all night during the 80's and 90's, the attempted revenge of the hippies in rave culture, Reclaim the Streets and sandpits in Brixton, sending anarchists into space with the Association of Autonomous Astronauts and sneaking radical history into happy hardcore dance magazines.
