“Blitzed!” by Bruce Ashley and Michael Donald

In the 1980s, a generation of trendsetters gathers at London’s Club Blitz to share their love for fashion, music and freedom of self-expression.

In strife torn 1979 Britain, against a backdrop of strikes, blackouts, racism and homophobia, out of one small London venue called The Blitz came a generation of outrageous teenagers, working class and art school kids, who would define the look, the sound, the style and the attitude of the ‘80s & beyond.

Inspired by David Bowie and driven by a gender bending, genre busting desire to make it, these penniless superstars in the making from Boy George & Culture Club to Spandau Ballet, Visage, Ultravox & Sade would go on to change the face of fashion, music and culture across the world.
