Val Hennessy - In The Gutter (1978)

There are only a small handful of punk books that are as accurate and influential at the time created as now, and this is one of them. Published in 1978, it is a real-time account of Punk as it happened. ⁠As a newspaper columnist, Val Hennessy presented a series of TV shows which were labelled as a “chaotic disaster”. Entitled “Punk and Acne Go Together”, his iconic programme encapsulated the anger and the pathos of punk. ⁠⁠ The book drew on that programme and Hennessy to describe the punk movement, often through the words of the “punk fans”.
