Ignerents Local Press

Press from The Times and Observer, September 1977



I know we weren't Kent's only punk rock band, but the icecreams were nice, so thanks Adscene!

The Ignerents with The Only Ones

The Ignerents support 999 at Margate's Dreamland

Ignerents photos from summer '77

The first photo was taken in the summer of 1977, and it looks like Stan's front room in Herne Bay in Kent at a rehearsal. The shot features (L-R) Chris Harris (bass), Mark Leighton (guitar), Stan Gretsch (drums), Ben Challis (vox) and Steve Harris (guitar/vox).


The second photo was taken at All Saints Hall in Whitstable in July 1977. It feature (L-R) Mark Leighton (guitar), Chris Harris (bass), Stan Gretsch (mostly hidden, on drums), Ben Challis (vox) and Steve Harris (Guitar/vox).

Great website for all things Punk in '77

Have a loook at http://www.punk77.co.uk. The Ignerent's gig at the Vortex is logged at http://www.punk77.co.uk/punkhistory/vortex_gigs.htm - the Vortex misspelt the band as The Ignerants! We supported Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, Local Operator and the Killjoys on September 6th 1977. The Ignerents supported a number of other punk bands at that time including 999 (Margate Dreamland), Chelsea (Marquee, August 10th 1977)and The Only Ones.

Paul at Punk77 has written a great page on the Ignerents at http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/ignerents.htm
