The original goth scene in Scotland

This new independent photobook brings the original goth scene in Scotland back into focus. Through rare, unpublished photography and ephemera, as well as thoughtful texts from a range of contributors, Heartlands will rekindle some of the magic for scenesters who were there, or those who missed out. Goths, positive/post punks, call them what you will, this most enduring of subcultures is re-presented for a contemporary audience, 40 years down the line. See the bands too, key and local, Ausgang to Xmal, Sisters to Nico, at clubs like Night Moves, Strutz and the Hooch. With a tender foreword from Chris Connelly (Fini Tribe, Revolting Cocks, Ministry), this book is the next-best thing to a time-machine.

This launch event at Mono Chris Brickley will be in contact conversation with Derek Louden (one of founders of Splash One club) who also contributed photographs to the books.
