Session 2
Discussion led by Nick Dermott
Key discussion points/themes:- Britain invented youth cults and Margate pioneered the mods and rockers back in the 1960’s. It’s what Margate was known for
- Everyone under the age of 65 belonged to one
- All youth cults have music attached to them: teddy boys, mods and rockers, punks, skin heads, glam rock, new age etc.
- Cult is always evolving and always acquiring new members and young people are apart of the evolving of society.These cults are fundamental to Englishness and we should celebrate cults and differences.
Main idea:
- The idea is to make Dreamland the centre for a 'music museum' showing the history of youth cults and music, and a venue for musicians and bands to come and play music.
- This is something that The Pie Factory- and the Youth Music Action Zone would really like to be a part of.
- There is a very live music scene in Margate e.g. the Lido and Britannia pub are currently venues for presenting new music/acts.
- We think nostalgia in past youth cults could benefit Margate. There is now a mutual respect across the cults and a great level of sophistication in visuals and sounds with youth cults could be provided at dreamland.
- A museum of youth cults is a good way for kids to know what has happened before as it will show the history of music and will help them understand the current gang rivalry situation that is occurring. Also kids will become ‘accidental historians’.
- There is possible funding here and Margate could be an entertainment Mecca!
Action points:
1.The project needs a board, a constitution and an organisation - lets meet asap to start the process
