Forbidden Days

It was 1985 and the future was uncertain. Missiles, troops…hard to say, but we were sure the Russians were coming; it was just a matter of time and seemed unlikely we’d see the 90’s. There was certainly nothing that I (a teenager in Southern England) could do about it. All I could do was choose a song and turn it up as loud as my walkman would allow. Ultravox? Talk Talk? U2? Depeche Mode? Whatever, just as long as it lasts more than 4 minutes. “Stole a ring from a market stall and ran..." Forbidden Days is a true teenage story from when times were heavy with consequence. It seems that those days never really left us…
