I would like to thank everyone involved in contributing material to this site and therefore helping it achieve it's goal of becoming the definitive web archive on Southend Punk Rock, as experienced between 1976 - 1986. To this end, thank you to: Giacomino Parkinson for the great photographs and helping to document and keep alive this era of our history, Nick Paul of The Machines for all the great material, quotes and general philosophical ruminations on Punk Rock (and you saw the 100 Club Punk Festival in 1976 you lucky chap!), Andi Schurer of The Psychopaths, The Prey and half of the bands featured herein, Johnny Anderson (Wayne Stallard) for all the great photos and support, Gary Smith and Kevin de Groot for their invaluable contributions, Graham Burnett (New Crimes!), Audie and Dave Oxley for the excellent help with the early Southend Punk Timeline, Michele Sloman and Kim Stone for their truly awesome photo collections and Dave Tulloch (Co-Manager of The Machines, Co-Founder of Strange Stories and Van Gogh promoter in '78).

Thanks also have to go to Dr Feelgood / Wilko, and Eddie and The Hot Rods for helping kickstart this thing we know as 'punk', to all the bands whom kept the flame alive during the '76-'86 era, and finally to every Punk Rocker from the area who lived through these thrilling, exciting and visceral times...
