Synopsis

The Outlook and the Windmill: two South Yorkshire Punk-hosting venues of the late 1970's Punk explosion! Between these two venues, almost every Punk band of the time was booked to perform. The Outlook even managed to put on two career-defining shows from Punk's leaders... The Sex Pistols - one of which took place during their secret tour of summer 1977, when virtually every establishment in the whole country had supposedly banned them!

Between the pages of this book, as told by the people who were there, are accounts of those two gigs alongside anecdotes of mingling with Billy Idol, Midge Ure and ex Pistol Glen Matlock's Rich Kids and Wayne County's Electric Chairs in Rotherham and further dates with The Jam, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Ultravox, The Boys, The Adverts and more over in Doncaster.

Almost 200 photos and illustrations, most of which are newly discovered exclusives, include signed contracts of The Sex Pistols, fans own photos, rare posters and flyers of the era ... all helping to evoke and bring back to life the honest and insightful accounts from pioneering Punk Rockers, the clubs promoter and fanzine reports of the day...This is a must-read for any lovers of Rock music books that tell the story exactly as it was - and like Punk Rock at the time... more than a little Out of Control!!!
