Vera Bickle, Gerry Doyle, Mark Sanders, and Dan Hughes were interviewed on October 16th about a weekly event that they organized called Start Dancing. This was a unique all ages punk event that had DJs and bands playing. They took place in halls, curling clubs, church basements and other unlikely community spaces that they could find around the city. Four years of these events entrenched the spirit of an all ages scene in the early hardcore era. These events allowed for various levels of alternative scenes that include mods, skins, punks, new romantics and others. It was one of my first exposures to the local scene and in hindsight it had a big impact on my life.
