  • I take you on a tour of a very wet Blackpool Town Centre on the weekend of the hugely popular Rebellion Punk Festival, which is held at the Winter Gardens. The rain clouds eventually parted for sunshine as I arrived at the promenade.

  • @stintonsmythe8565
    @stintonsmythe8565 3 роки тому +5

    Nice to see that the Rebellion Punk Festival has been allowed to be held this year, even at short notice. It's such a popular event. Punks generally are well behaved, even though some people will be frightened of them just by their hairstyle and dress-sense haha. You'll much more likely to get trouble from people frequenting standard night-clubs that play popular music, than you'd ever get from the punks. The Tache rock/alternative club is upstairs the Rose and Crown pub, but you can't beat the original The Tache club opposite the original bus station. I used to go there quite a bit around 30 years ago. The days when the music played in there was really awesome and so varied. It really was the place to go back then. If they hadn't have demolished it, then I bet it would still be there today. A tragic loss. In a way, I think they are just trying to modernize too much in Blackpool and I am not a supporter of that. It takes away quite a bit of the character of the resort. That new tram-link from the promenade to the old Wilko building on Dickson road is a total waste of money. Haven't people got legs?? It's not that far to walk from the train station to the promenade to catch a tram, and whilst people walk down Talbot road, they may spend money in the shops there, but with a tram link now, they'll just bypass the shops on Talbot road and even Abingdon street, which isn't going to help business to be honest. Just more change and expense that could have been avoided, and so it goes on >>

    • @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool
      @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool  3 роки тому +1

    Another great video. The old punk in me would love to attend Rebellion festival, next year's line up is fabulous, but sadly probably too much for my legs. The Brew room is a fantastic pub. Papas fish & chips in Cleethorpes is brilliant. A bit pricier than others, but better quantity & quality. I've heard good things about Blackpool too. £5 for the tram Inc £1 booking fee for a return journey, I believe.
