voodoo to
sandshoes part 3
Well, it’s taken some time (or motivation) but it looks like Part 3 will finally make it to press, that is providing it doesn’t end up in the Ed’s bin! When I left you last time we had just put to bed the decidedly unsettled “clubbie/ surfie” era, however, hot on this periods heels (or maybe it was at the same time, I’m just not sure these days!) we were beset by the “bodgie” (or “westie” in later years) and surfie wars. But, just hang on for a bit as there was much that happened in the interim of great interest if you’re still awake and reading. (Ten out of ten if you are!)

The sounds of the surf and of the surfers lifestyle, the sounds of the Atlantics, The Beachboys, The Chantays and countless other great and not-so-great “surf bands”. And the clubs (no alcohol of course!!) that sprang up around this time to cater for this seemingly unstoppable wave of freedom and fun. An essential rite of passage for any surfie worth his bottle of peroxide! What an absolute privilege to be there to witness firsthand the emergence of Billie Thorpe and the Aztecs at the infamous Beach House. Of course we had no idea back then that he would go on to become
