Neil Brocklehurst I was there the day of the 'Save Beaufort Market 'march/mini riot thanks for reminding of that totally forgotten about ..very exciting for a suburban 15 year old can't remember if we went to Kings Road because of the March or we were just up there anyway, I think the latter, lots of Punks running around been chased by cops and windows getting smashed ...Happy Days !
Paul Gamblin I was there a week after the ‘riots' and Jock (he introduced himself to us) was giving these out, being from Somerset we didn't know anything about the riot and not really knowing if the Clash were going to do the gig. It felt a bit suss. We moved on so I never found out if anything kicked off again or Jock had spent a lot of time photocopying leaflets?

Jock MacDonald tried to organise a protest at the closing of Beaufort Market
On this day in 1979 Jock MacDonald tried to organised a protest at the closing of Beaufort Market in London's Kings Road on the 31st of March 1979 The Clash and PiL were supposed to play, but again it turned out only 4 Be 2. (although Joe Strummer and Mick Jones did turn up)
This time things turned ugly and a riot ensued. If you look closely at the NME report you can see me mates Dave & Kevin watching the riot, Daveís got his hands in leather jacket pockets far right just before the van ! Dave says a lot of Punks from Brighton went up for this ( I didnít bother). Cheers for sharing Dave Mckean
