EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, where three Teddy Boys are seen bopping away at the Fforchneol Arms in Godreaman. The energy and excitement emanating from this image is palpable, as these young men immerse themselves in the timeless art of dance. From left to right, we have Bobby Thomas, known as "Rocky" a 27-year-old hailing from John Street in Abercomboi. Next is Andrew Turner, aged 22, also known as "Doo-Doo" residing in Llwyd Coed, Aberdare. Finally, we have Michael Gough, affectionately called "Guff" who calls Clarence Street in Aberaman his home. Their impeccable style showcases their commitment to the Teddy Boy subculture with drainpipe trousers and drape jackets that exude an air of rebellion and individuality. As they jive to rock n roll beats on this memorable evening of May 13th, 1976; their passion for music and dance shines through. Photographer Alan Grist has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time – a testament to youth culture and its ability to transcend generations. This image serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when dancing was not just a pastime but a way of life for these Teddy Boys. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print by Memory Lane Prints, it transports us back into history's embrace - reminding us that
