I’d been documenting this nascent scene in the Soho nightclub ’Billy’s’ and, one evening, a group of about half-a-dozen skinheads turned up. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey saw me taking photographs and one of them, a guy called Wally, asked me if I’d like to take some photos of them too. They seemed pretty friendly and not at all camera shy. I took a few snaps, we got talking and Wally suggested I go with the whole gang on one of their Bank Holiday jaunts to the seaside. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat was what led, eventually, to five years of photographing skinheads. In those five years I got to know some of the skinheads quite well and liked many of them.” —Derek Ridgers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the photos were taken between 1979 – 1984 in either London or nearby coastal towns.\u003cbr\u003eThere are over 100 photos including 32 pages of color.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omnibus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037735960816,"sku":"9781783051717","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783051717_p0.jpg?v=1763724638","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783051717","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
