This is a clip interviewing Gaye Black - The Adverts
‘She’s A Punk Rocker U.K’ Directed by Zillah Minx, premiered to an enthusiastic reception at the 15th Raindance Film Festival 2007, A D.I.Y documentary made over a period of ten years without funding.
"I wanted to make a documentary about real punks - to explore what it's like to be a punk and why women became punks." Zillah Minx in The Guardian, Leonie Cooper. Aug 2007.
Punk Rockers existed on the streets of London before The Sex Pistols appeared on television to reveal punk rock to the world. In 1976 I was one of those punk rockers I was a 15year old girl living at home in London’s east end. We created our own fashions & entertainment.
Being a punk living in London’s east end and in a band Rubella Ballet since 1979 I got to know a lot of punks. I decided it was time to make a documentary to hear our punk herstory from us. The punk women who were actually a part of the scene the punks who were there creating our punk ethos. I started to interview women for this film in 1996. I used a borrowed camera, researched and interviewed everyone myself. I did all the work to keep the project going.
The documentary includes interviews with many key figures in the punk scene with Poly Styrene - X-Ray Spex, Gaye Black - The Adverts, Vi Subversa, Poison Girls, Eve Libertine & Gee Vaucher, CRASS, Helen of Troy FU2, Caroline Coon Journalist & CLASH Manager, Ruth & Janet Hagar the Womb, Michelle-Brigandage, Olga Orbit-Youth In Asia, Lou Moon Evil I, Julie Burchill Journalist & more.

One of the coolest bass players ever. Her look was striking and she still looks absolutely amazing today.
Gosh she is still incredibly pretty in this clip.
Shes always been so Hot

I had no idea who the band was and bought it on the strength of how cool she looked on the cover. And then played it😍😍😍 Been looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes ever since!!!
Legend ✨
I'm sure The Adverts would have played my hometown in Devon back in the day, would love to have seen them, but I only would have been about 11 years old! Gaye wrote great basslines used to try and work them out on my Hondo Jazz copy. Great teenage memories.
Saw them when they played the Top Rank in Cardiff, must've been '78. They were great, of course .
Adore 🖤🖤
Awesome! Gary Gilmores eyes a killer tune!
Hey Gaye!

She is a ground breaking woman!
Gaye was the Bass Player in 'The Adverts', but she was also a pinup girl of the whole pUnK Scene, along with Debby Harry of Blondie, Siouxsie Soux, of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Pauline Murray, of Penetration, Poly Styrene of XRAY SPEX, Faye Fife of The Rezillos etc etc, Gaye was a very decent Bass player that was crucial to the sound of 'The Adverts', and indeed all of the aforementioned Women were very talented musicians in their own right , despite being 'Sex Symbols' in an age before all this 'WOKE' shit, when it was ok to Fancy someone, and say they were attractive ! Gaye is still artistic in different ways these days, but still very popular and still very Beautiful! God Bless her! (Some FOOKER Somewhere will find offence in this post, probably on behalf of someone else) ! dx
Punk was basically “woke shit” - and most of the women you mention DID NOT WANT to be sex symbols for (cave)men - certainly not Gaye, Polly, Pauline, Siouxsie or Faye (and probably not Debbie although I’m not as familiar with her).
NO, she was not a "pin up" girl!
@@LarzGustafsson she most definitely was a pin-up girl in Fiesta. Natural 😍
@@CarlChristensen64 Thank you - you called it right.
Why do some ppl feel the need to extrapolate today's tiresome political posturing onto a movement that ended nearly 50 years ago and that WAS ultra-liberal in its outlook. if some of these whiners were around back then, they would have hated it.
Also , note to OP: It is still perfectly acceptable to tell a woman that you fancy her and find her attractive. What is not acceptable is reducing a woman to nothing more than that. It's worth learning this subtle difference (and many of those "pin-ups" you claim to admire were advocating for this very idea back then)
Dear Muppet, your assumption is noted. @@LarzGustafsson
I want a poster of her Joan Jett and Stevie nicks in my room
First time I've been seen her without the punk gear on.
Sexy as hell back in the day and still lovely today❤️Also seems like a nice, well adjusted lady as well.

My claim to fame. I went to school with Howard's brother.
