Lincoln's Festival of History Returns May 5, Featuring Ellis Mill Opening

Rare footage from 1979 offers a glimpse into the vibrant nightlife of Paisley's Silk Street, highlighting iconic venues such as Valentino’s and Paris Le Club that were central to the town’s social scene. During the late 1970s, a ban on punk bands in Glasgow led to Paisley becoming a hub for punk and new wave music, with notable performances by bands like The Clash and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The video not only captures the fashion and music of the era but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of Paisley's influential role in Scotland's cultural history. For younger viewers, it provides an opportunity to experience a pivotal period that defined the town’s dynamic spirit and nightlife.
