S2E3: Symond Lawes-Brighton Great Skinhead Reunion-England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿- Beats & Boots Podcast

In Episode 3, our guest joins us from England: Symond Lawes—an actor, tour band manager, and the event producer of the Brighton Great Skinhead Reunion for the past 15 years. Symond became involved in the skinhead subculture in the late 1970s and brings a unique insider perspective to our conversation. We explore the historical foundation, evolution, and future of the skinhead movement—both in England and around the world. Symond shares insights into the early days of the movement in London, the social and cultural climate of the time, and the key influences that shaped its original identity. We discuss how Jamaican rude boy culture and British working-class life blended to create something entirely new, and what the energy was like in those early days. What did it feel like to be part of something that was just starting? Symond also reflects on the challenges the skinhead movement faced in the 1970s, including the impact of political and media narratives that often distorted its message. What were the biggest struggles, and how did the movement push through them? Finally, we talk about the Brighton Great Skinhead Reunion—an annual event that continues to celebrate and connect the global skinhead community.
