THE CRASH CREW - 1989

This is the full rave package..!!
The ravers - the DJ's - the 12's - the fashion - the smiley - the graffiti.
It's the Crash Crew in the summer of '89 in the Overgate.
Thanx to JG

  5. I remember the graffiti it was on a shop up from the Angus, the little row of shops that looked across to Burns & Harris. Wasn't it a cafe at one point? Then next to it was an road to the back of the Overgate loading area.

  6. If you view the large version, you can just make out above the graffiti that it was an Optician.

  7. I think once the graffiti and boards were removed, the shop unit then became "Happy Chappie" for a while.

  8. I remember Happy Chappie and I think you're right. Wasn't the best clothes shop but was a step in the right 'yoof culture' direction at the time. Lasted about 6 months did it not?

  9. Think I got my Soul II Soul hoody there! Was more like a stall than a shop as we know them

  10. Yeah, Happy Chappie sold all the Soul II Soul-type stuff, the leather pendants and so on. It appears also, that Lee's wee sister seems to be wearing a Lochee Fleet "Powerboat" jacket...

  15. yep, definately Gail Craddock, and yes she was engaged to PJ! She was a model back then and a brilliant dancer, as I remember.
    She went to live in Spain, after PJ died.
