Teddy Gangs of Dublin City, Ireland 1980

Why be a Teddy Boy in the 1980s Mark Cagney chats to a group of young people about their lifestyle as Teddy Boys and Teddy Girls. They talk music, clothes, hair, rockabilly and rock n roll. One Teddy boy comments Were Teds cos were into the music. We like Rock n Roll music, we like the dress, thats why we wear it. We dont look for trouble, we dont want trouble. Another says I like the clothes. They look class. So what is the difference between Rockabilly and Rock n Roll Rockabilly is basically rock n roll music and hillbilly music mixed in together. Whereas Rock n Roll is rhythm and blues and country and western. Elvis Presley, Bill Hayley, Carl Perkins, and Eddie Cochran, are just a few of their Rock n Roll favourites. This episode of Irelands Eye was broadcast on 26 November 1980. The presenter is Mark Cagney.
