A story of the club that ignited in the '80s, by the beloved presenter, author, and participant of Blitz, Robert Elms.
The short-lived Blitz club in Covent Garden, London, was more than just a place to hang out or be seen: it was a catalyst for a cultural explosion, a counterattack against everything brought about by Thatcher's leadership in the early '80s. Tuesday nights hosted a fierce and fearless crowd—ranging from Boy George and Spandau Ballet to Grayson Perry and Peter Doig, Michelle Clapton, Siouxsie, and Alexander McQueen. This was the vanguard of a different England: socially liberal, strong, proud, and diverse, fiercely individualistic, and determined to succeed. Britain was black and white; the Blitz Kids brought the colors to life.
At Blitz, Elms reflects on a nightclub founded by working-class kids, which had an impact echoing beyond its doors, influencing the worlds of Art, Literature, Fashion, and Music, to this day.
