Blending oral history interviews with contemporaneous reports in the style press, the music press, local and national newspapers, and archival documents stored at the Islington Local History Centre, this book sheds new light upon key clubs, the music, cultural identities, and fashions. The book presents unpublished eyewitness accounts by people from Islington?s council estates that contributed to these scenes to unravel the complex and hitherto poorly understood interrelationship between gang culture, subculture and localised club culture. It argues that the backlash to the perceived unsavoury nature of clubbers and promoters, combined with the onslaught of gentrification in the borough in the late 1990s, led to the venues being closed down, and to this vital moment in the history of UK popular culture being brought to an end. Ray Kinsella is an academic researcher and writer who co-founded the Subculture Interest Group at the University of the Arts London, UK. His previous book, The Bebop Scene in London's Soho, 1945-1950: Post-war Britain's First Youth Subculture, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2022. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Subcultures and Popular Music,$x2730-9525 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aOral history 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Music 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aCultural History 606 $aSocial History 606 $aOral History 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aOral history. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Music. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aOral History. 676 $a909.08 700 $aKinsella$b Ray$0116085 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049196103321 996 $aClubbing Culture in Islington, 1986-1995$94520782 997 $aUNINA
