Description | FeathersBy Steve Piper It was only a haircut. Simple in creation yet complex in message. Felicity knew that she wanted her own feather cut as soon as she saw one for the first time. It offered the allegiance she craved, the support she needed, the family she desired. She had always followed her gut and her gut told her that this small group of misfits, this tangle of subverts, this tightly-bonded crew of crop-headed urchins would be as good a tribe as any to join and start to live life. It is often said, ‘birds of a feather’ flock together but when Felicity had flown the last thing on her mind was flying in the company of others. Relying on her intuition, her instinct, staying on her toes, that was what she needed to do if she was to maintain her new-found, if volatile, liberty.

From Glam To The JamBy Step Taylor Forget the hectic, instantaneous, downloadable nature of today’s modern society (complete with throwaway manufactured music and phoney sporting giants) and cast your mind back to a time when everything was wonderfully simple. People out and about didn’t have their vision obscured by small electronic devices permanently fixed in front of their faces and actual face to face communication was commonplace. Failing that letter writing or the frequent use of one of those red steel and glass boxes (providing you had bulging pockets of two and five pence pieces and it hadn’t been vandalised) were the means to contact friends and family alike. Television coverage, particularly with regards to sport and music, was limited and treasured. Early May was always eagerly anticipated by footy fans as you were guaranteed two live TV matches on consecutive Saturdays in the form of The FA Cup Final and England V Scotland. Nothing could get in the way of those including weddings..We survived comfortably on a mere three TV channels. The launch of Channel 4 was bordering on revolutionary This short semi autobiographical account relives those times but from a Suffolk school/area context focusing heavily on the obscure aspects of sporting and media coverage and the music genres of the times. Be ready for a few obscure charts too. Who cares about the antics of Suella Braverman when we had Floella Benjamin!
