Also often used as shorthand in Hancock's Half Hour. Sid's gang had 'Edwardian Fred' And the one where Hancock is a Lawyer defending Sid and the reason Sid gives for running away from the police. 'I thought they were Teddy Boys m'lud'
Great episode - can I mention the Ted references re John Bonham? He's in a drape coat in The Song Remains the Same 'Moby Dick' sequence [ playing snooker in a pub etc ], dancing with his wife [ clearly to Rock & Roll music of some kind ] & in a photo sequence from a 1977 Zep interview in NME. Him and Plant were great Ted fans clealrly
Thanks for the history lesson. An eye, and ear opener. Had to laugh at the Jeremy Spencer hi-jinx while in Fleetwood Mac and 'Somebodies Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight' a raccous gem that was covered in 76. Can't wait to read my pre-order. Cheers!
20 years ago I was working at a West End art concern and one of my colleagues was never out of sartorial character in his bespoke Ted kit, replete with quiff. I admired his commitment, but did tease him about riding a Vespa. A study in contrasts, perhaps.
Max Décharné reboots the golden age of the Teddy Boys 15.2.24 my father would have been on that cusp of teen rebellion....he was about 13 when that film was airing and Rochdale allegedly had "riots" during that phase of cinematic uproar....
We called them 'greasers' here in the States. The best example of the revivalists here had to be Sha-Na-Na. Funnily enough, they were mostly Columbia University students who formed the band as a joke and played the Fillmore East as opening act for the hard rock bands. They probably played the Fillmore East more than any band, and they later had a hit tv show. They even played Woodstock.
@@GurungyNoHamuster Wow, I didn't know that. It never dawned on me that Rockers and Teds were a completely different bunch. I thought Rockers were just another name for Teds. So, that must mean we had no equivalent of Teds in America. Or did we, I don't know.
great interview clearly knows his stuff

Fascinating, thank you.

Great talk, many thanks. Very good to see it on youtube.
Wonderful stuff.

In the UK, as I remember it, our UK greasers were a variant of rocker (motorcycle gangs) and enemy of the Teds.

Very Cool Daddy-O.
Is that Nick Cave's long lost twin?
Twin of Mick Jones'from the Clash.
He’s the ex-drummer of Gallon Drunk and the singer/piano player of The Flaming Star … so in a way you might not be too far off the mark.
