Thee Headcoats Quotes

�It�s the fact that there�s very little cultural life around here, I suppose. If you want something, you�ve gotta do it yourself really. In the punk days, I used to go up to London and I used to ask these punk rock people like, I�d go up to Paul Weller and say �When�re you gonna come and play in Chatham?� and he�d say �Where�s Chatham?� I thought �These groups are great, they can come down and play where we live and that�, but you know, I think Chatham got off the circuit a long time before then. One time of course it would have been a very vibrant centre, with all the big theatres and everything, but they�d all closed by the late 50's. Everything was on the way out and the Pentagon shopping centre finished it off, and the dockyard closing.�

�We had the same kind of unemployment here as they had in the worst hit places in the North and you�re meant to be on a cushy wicket in the South. If you go up to Newcastle, you can tell that the town�s really had money, or Liverpool, you know, the northern towns have got grandeur, whereas Medway, being just a sort of garrison town and dockyard town, you don�t have anything like Earl Grey Square or anything like that.�
