Gray hair in a beard, demon in a rib - how British elderly punks hang out

Categories: Holidays and Festivals

This weekend the British aged punks decided to prove that they still rule Britain. Colorful mohawks, frayed leather jackets and impressive tattoos - informals "over 50" proved that punks are still alive and feel great - well, at least at the festival in British Morecambe. The festival is called Nice 'n' Sleazy ("Nice and vulgar") and was created specifically for punks and fans of the ska genre. It takes place in the town of Lancashire every year. Despite the wrinkles and gray hair, party-goers enjoy their favorite music, drink and socialize with their own kind for three whole days.
