We were so lucky to have the so many good people write something for our collection of stories. We reached out to as many contacts as we had and they contacted their friends and so on. Humbled beyond belief.
Punks Listen – the line-up
The project was undertaken by two people from Dublin, who were inspired by punk’s D.I.Y. passion. And its sense of wonder. The ‘zine, designed by Russ Bestley (author of The Art of Punk) is filled with the writing of some of their favourite musicians, writers, DJs, thinkers and friends.
Contributors to Punks Listen- the fanzine
At a time when Dublin is sometimes in the news for the wrong reasons, the project represents a warm welcome to Ireland to anyone who is displaced, anxious and worried. The ‘zine’s entire cover price goes directly to the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Rebellion 2024 Day 4
I can’t explain how much punk rock means to me. The words on the page don’t do it justice but it became a way of living. Not thinking what would the punks do just what feels like the right thing to do. This weekend epitomises it. It’s a huge family and like any family gathering there are some you like more than others.
Rebellion 2024 Day 3
As I prepare for the onslaught of steps and sounds on day 3 I contemplate my 48 hours so far in Blackpool. The punks have taken over, touts are the only ones selling tickets and this punk rock party is in fine form. There’s a haunting spectre of a match from the EDL later as we hope that attendees of the festival will be out in protest of the hate and division that the edl espouse.
Rebellion 2024 Day 2
Here we go again. Day 2. The sun is still shining and the floors of the venue are getting sticky. Last night I kept feeling splashes on the parts of my legs my shorts weren’t covering as people dropped their not so empty plastic beer glasses to the floor. The floor absorbed most of it but by the time I was leaving Bar Stool Preachers my feet were beginning to stick to the floor.
Rebellion 2024 Day 1
Is there a more synonymous saying associated with punk rock than 1-2-3-4. And with that on our first day August 1 the festival kicks off
Rebellion 2024 Day 0
So it’s the night before the day when the maddest collection of musicians, punks, vagabonds and those on the outside of whatever it is they feel they aren’t part of, come together for their annual celebration in the tatty seaside town that is Blackpool.
