So you got into punk in '77 right? How old were you, and how did that come about? 

Peter: I was 15. I got into punk about the time the Stranglers debut hit the street, which was around March '77.

Peter: Yeah. My mates who were a few years older were going to shows, and my one mate's big sister seen the Stranglers in February or March so she told us about 'em.
