👍

I am about to become 66, I was a true skinhead girl with two tone tonic strides!! I love this song, not many people know it. this is the first time I have found it on the internet.

and we used to get in a straight line and do boxed steps... oh wow i was 12, my dad came to collect me....oh the shame haha

So I'm a bit confused here... Your a skinhead like neo Nazi?? Or ARIAN FRONT NATION SKINHEAD?

Bully for you.

Thats because we lnvented coo😎

Cool

And Hippies

Well we had anyways. Now there's just chavs and that's nothing to be proud of. Personally, I feel the death of the last real, home grown British subculture was probably the Madchester scene which for the most part had fizzled out over thirty years ago. And if we're being honest, even it was nothing compared to the groups we had from the 50s to the 70s. Personally I blame the rise of tech.. the internet, constant connectivity etc. Back in the day scenes developed more regionally, more organically back in the past before internet.. there was only the odd magazine of TV programme to see what was happening around the country, never mind the world.. so there was opportunity for unique subcultures to flourish and grow in their own way. Now we just live in a huge, one single, global culture and to honest I think it sucks. Sure, we have gained some things, for one there's a wealth of knowledge out there now, you can find anything you want to know or buy online.. you didn't have to go 150 miles by train to get the clothes or boots you want, you can order them and have them here in the post the next day.. but on the other hand we have lost so much. Its good that reunions keep the past alive because its all we have.. a memory of a better time.

That's the vibe man. If you ever come to Alicante (Spain) let me know. Free beer for you all day long!

I am from Russia,and i traditional skinhead,i love reggy

Hi; I do not like cosplay however I understand your point but as you see here women s outfit is not feminine at all; looks bad on them

@@TheReverb1 its a lifestyle not a look

Don't think Led Zepp fans would have been made welcome 😙😙

🕯 terry hall here’s to you rude boy.! too much too young. cheers. respect. deep sorrow regards to your passing. 😏😒😞🥺 you’ll forever travel with me, on my back tattoo. ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏✌🏻

Absolutely love your comment mate you described my school days down to a tee the best days of my life great music and styles so much better than today’s shite ....I’d buy you a pint 👍🏻

@@gazevanschooselife1207 Yeah, we'd have a right knees up. Take care fella and let's hope for some normality in the next few years

You gave me goosebumps!😃💖

Of course the checkerboard, associated with ska, came about in the late 70's early 80's with Jerry Dammers, of The Specials, and the Two Tone era. It's strange how nobody is bringing up The Specials

Ska Reaggae skins never die iam 48.greetings from germany

Two Tone never dies, saw Untouchables last week and 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love that feeling but there is always a little something missing ain't there think it's a memory blur but yer love this track me n me best mate love singing stupid girl great song this the music is so under rated

In your head you've never grown old like me I'm never getting old and miserable I'm keeping the young girl alive in my head age is just a number

Don't forget the cheap doc Martins look a likes major domoes

It's never two later get your jean .boots and braces and don't give a fuck to what people think or say and START STOMPING

Not too late to recreate.

You've got to keep changing your crowds all your life....it never ends..

@@child_of_gaia1836 best comment i've seen in my 31year life

This is so heartwarming ❤️🔥 LA County schools had a film copy of "This R Two Tone" documentary they'd show at rec and community centers in the 80's, inspired MANY SoCal bands🔥 I love seeing happy skinheads! Those kids are the most ❤️

Neighbours ? I hope the whole street are hearing it and stomping. 😜

LOL good one.

Its a timeless it was never agressive just fun and pple being young with attude fky to rite far better than what they are brainwashed with now then it was just fun

Take a look at The Specials, This is 1979 clip, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrhkmMab1bvSZWQ.html , Gets better at the end when the fan get on stage.

@wm5311 no true music historian or student would believe such nonsence. The intricate complex rhythms of jazz derive from Africa. No European society has any history of producing such complicated poly rhythms as the African continent. What you claim simply never happened. Even Elvis Presley admitted that he would sit in the back of black churches on a Sunday and study the rhythms of the black musicians and emulate them for his act. Sister Rosetta Sharpe a black woman, was the God Mother of the guitar and her style paved the way for other musicians black and white. So please don't lie and say reggae music, rnb, jazz derives from the rhythms of Ireland and Europe. That is ridiculous.

It was the new group of oi skins that were racist

@@marinaperrin1262 I believe you

You should watch some skinhead history on KZfaq and your see white skinheads and black rude boys talking about p@@i bashing late 60s , so yeah some skinheads where racist

We weren’t the music united youth here in coventry

We weren’t the music united youth here in Coventry

Well done girls. Skin from 69

True skinheads who knows their roots. Not bloody boneheads…

@@pateris 😉🤝

@@spiritof6986 Hey, I'm not a skinhead, but I like to know a bit o'history !

@@pateris I'm just glad that you're aware that the original Skinheads had absolutely nothing tae do with racist crap.

"... do you remember" Levi's jeans and sta-pressed trousers. Sheepskin coats, windcheaters and Harrington jackets. Ben Sherman and Brutus shirts, grandfather vests. Brogues and loafers. Tighten Up Volume... And so much more. I was an original skinhead of the late 1960's. It never leaves you.

@@JC-gm3zs Cooool...i remember those days as well..! Im 54 now..Im missing it..! Yeah i was very young when Ska entered my life end of 70's early 80's...Good old memoriessss.....! Cheers mate! 💥✌️😀💥Happy Dayyys..!!!

So was I but recently realised it was quite likely a political con. Sold all me old ska records.

@@wm5311 lol! you weren't listening? Or you weren't living through Thatcher? Nobody was hiding anything from you bud.

@@cmgordon12345 Yes ur right, I probably wasn't listening then but i am now. Jerry Dammers invented 'two tone'. He was son of a CHURCH dean. 'Two tone = B&W. I believe over 97% of current Immigrants are from the 3 Judaic religious backgrounds i.e. Christian, Muslim & Jewish. Coincidence? Huh Church still has its agents working within all media inc music. Nearly every current chart song has religious connotations to them. I'm glad u Enjoy your Ska. Hope u enjoy all genres of music! Such a shame Terry Hall died. I remember well him calling the two tone lot a bunch of w*****rs 😂 🇮🇪

@@wm5311 I caught a later wave in the US in my youth. I've mostly associated the scene with messages of unity, and the obvious connection to repressed people and colonization, as a fuck you, to the colonizers. I can see what you are saying, but the reggae that this came from has solid Christian roots. A message to Rudy is some preechy shit 😊. I'm no Christian

@@cmgordon12345 have a great xmas 🎄

Boys were into it because it wasnt silly love songs. The term rude boys came to light

Seems like a lifetime ago.

I love that the kids are involved😀

Ska is good clean fun for kids. It's the ez bake oven of music scenes

Yeah, he's got the moves, proper little skinhead! Great to see it live on!

I was thinking the same. That little fella has got proper rhythm!!

he feels the spirit ...😜
