The Cult of Trouble (1980)



Ian Walker (1952- 1990) was a journalist who wrote for The Leveller magazine in the 1970's. He later wrote for New Society and the Daily Mirror. His account of life in 1980's Berlin, Zoo Station, is highly regarded.
Walker's New Society article, in which he observed Skinheads at a UB40 gig in London , interviewed Skinhead schoolboys in Somers Town and skins with National Front connections , was illustrated with photographs by Homer Sykes. It appeared in June 1980.
