Punk Rock: An Oral History

By John Robb

Link

[Rob Lloyd] "When I turned up at Endale's office one day, lo and behold, they had not being lying to me. They were the Sex Pistols' agent! Which is why when you see the early Pistols gigs pre-making records, they were always playing Burton-on-Trent and Birmingham. They were organising the ‘Anarchy in the UK' tour at the time. I went with Dave Crook from Endale to some of the gigs. He drove to most of them. So I saw them at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens and the Electric Circus in Manchester. The gigs were fantastic. You got the Clash and the Heartbreakers as well. With all the furore with the gigs being banned, it was very exciting, and because I knew the group I was not having to pay to get in. You could feel part of the whole thing. It was a fabulously exciting time for me. I was still a fifteen-year-old from Cannock.

One thing I remember about Cleethorpes is that I didn't look much different from what I look like now, pretty normal really, and there were these couple of greaser-type characters who tried to pick a fight with me, saying that I was a punk and they were Teds so there was going to be some trouble. I thought it was a fabulous time. The bands were getting better the more they played. Johnny Thunders was a bit of fruit loop, but a decent enough person to get on with. I thought the Heartbreakers were a shit-hot band, certainly live, but they made disappointing records."

"That night, the Pistols were anxious, but the Clash were outstanding"

Stereo Society

Online or archived PDF

"The last time I saw the tour was in Cleethorpes, a blue collar seaside resort in Lincolnshire, on the east coast of middle England. I remember an express train from Kings Cross and then shivering through the change to a local on a bare platform with snow slanting sideways.

It was appropriate that they'Anarchy In The UK', 'I Wanna Be Me' played at the Winter Gardens, because the rain and sleet were even more robust when roaring in off the North Sea as I walked from the bed and breakfast after a solid seaside dinner in the company of just one other misfit, a lonely traveling salesman.

Although I was handling the company's most newsworthy group, I still hadn't been granted a company car.

That night, the Pistols were anxious, but the Clash were outstanding. I had no reassurances to offer on behalf of Sir John. The hall was about half full, but cheerful and involved. The group were unsettled and apprehensive, even John, but I couldn't read the tea leaves in the cup at Manchester Square."

[extract] " Perhaps the most pragmatic response to the Anarchy Tour came from the good citizens of Cleethorpes. Jan Galloway of the town's Winter Gardens insisted that ‘we have booked this group simply to give a musical performance of heavy rock'. Alan Green, the local mayor said that ‘there would not be much to worry about' concerning the appearance on 20 December. The concert in Cleethorpes was completed with the Grimsby Evening Telegraph reporting that ‘the swearing, beer throwing, and spitting came from the 350 strong audience not the band'.

Cleethorpes Winter Gardens

After the war in 1946, the establishment was reopened as the Winter Gardens and is located on Kingsway, Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, England. The Winter Gardens held a range of events including rock gigs, a Melody Night and a Tea Dance.

15th Aug 2013, plans have been unveiled for a £3.5-million housing development on the former Winter Gardens site in Cleethorpes.The Winter Gardens were demolished in the summer of 2007.

The Winter Gardens in Cleethorpes, England, was an entertainment venue on the town's seafront. It started out as the art deco style Olympia and it was built with compensation which local railway worker George Eyre received from an accident which resulted in his legs being amputated. George's wife, Rose, owned the land on which Olympia was erected. [3]

The building was opened in 1934 and was owned by the North East Lincolnshire Council. It was an entertainment complex that hosted music, dancing, and nightclub events, with a capacity of 800. The venue held a significant place in music history, as it was the site of The Clash's performance on the 20th of December, 1976, during the Anarchy Tour, a historic event in the punk rock movement[3].It accommodated over 500 people and held various events, including live band performances.

The Clash's performance at the Cleethorpes Winter Gardens on the 20th of December, 1976, was part of the Anarchy Tour, which also featured other influential punk bands such as the Sex Pistols, Johnny Thunder and The Heartbreakers, and The Damned. The tour, although historically significant, was plagued by controversy and censorship, with only a few of the scheduled gigs actually taking place[4].
