Great read Ian. I’m impressed by anyone taking part in hunt sabs.

I remember (and knew) people that we called crusties. I think they fit the crust punk description, but this was around mid 80s. A lot of them went on form the traveller movement later that decade.

Thank you. I misjudged how people in these music-meets-politics scenes abhor labels and compartmentalisation. Although I do think that certain looks and ways of being take root. Sabbing was mainly long hours of doing nothing, sitting in a hired transit on blankets if you're lucky. The area we were active in was not picturesque!

I well remember that Lincoln van - they must have bought a batch of henna and had a night in doing their hair.
