1983 Badge Band Concert Eighties Penwith Performers 10cc Reggae
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the electrifying energy of two iconic bands, Aswad and 10cc, comes alive at an open-air concert in the picturesque Penwith, Cornwall, during the summer of 1983. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the 1980s music scene, where the boundaries between genres were blurred, and diversity was celebrated. Aswad, a groundbreaking reggae band from the United Kingdom, is prominently featured in the photograph. Their members, dressed in their signature Rastafarian colors and sporting badges and tags, exude a sense of pride and unity. The band's powerful vocals and soulful rhythms resonated deeply with their fans, making them a staple in the reggae scene. In stark contrast, 10cc, a renowned British rock band, can be seen in the background, delivering their unique brand of pop-rock music. The band members, with their distinctive white attire and instruments, add a vibrant contrast to the scene. The children in the crowd, with their wide eyes and open mouths, are a testament to the bands' ability to captivate audiences of all ages. The setting of Penwith, Cornwall, with its lush green fields and clear blue skies, adds to the idyllic atmosphere of the concert. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when live music brought people together, transcending racial and generational barriers, and creating memories that last a lifetime. This image, taken by the esteemed photographer Andrew Besley, is a true treasure for music enthusiasts and historians alike.
