Fanzines, Flyers and Phlegm – A Look At The British Library’s Punk 1976-78 Exhibit

This week sees the opening of the British Library’s ‘Punk 1976-78’ exhibition. Running May 13 until October 2, the exhibit celebrates 40 years since the birth of the genre, delving into the archives to look at the seismic shift that bondage trousers, gobbing and safey pins delivered to 1970s pop culture. The world would never be the same again. Here’s some of the stuff that’s on show.

A ticket to see The Clash at the legendary Eric’s club in Liverpool. £1.70, a bargain.

Another great night out at Eric’s.

The cover of London’s Outrage fanzine which was written by Jon Savage, music journalist, writer and cultural commentator.

Another flyer from the Roxy Club. Would attend.

The Buzzcocks back in 1976.
