Fabulous sir thankyou

Vin was a good egg - he was himself and he had more than a dedicated talent or two. Too few of his kin around. Rest in Peace, Vin. And thank you for your contribution!

I saw Crass at the Mayflower in Manchester. Must have been 1981 or 1982 (I was 13 or 14) and I wrote to them a couple of times. They always replied with a personal letter and a few posters that took pride of place on my bedroom wall for years. Their grass roots approach made them unique and I hope they are all well and enjoying life.

What a great gift is this poem and testament to Vin's life, to Vin, his family, friends, people who knew and admired Vin, and those who are yet to discover him. Thank you Paddy McEvoy. And as always, thank you Vin.

Interesting. A kind of no wave sound. Greetings. 5-4 🤙🏽 5-4

give the guy a cigar.great bloke?

CRASS are a bunch of wankers

I saw crass at the 100 club at a 'punk unity' gig, they were unannounced and the other band was The Exploited, before crass Annie Anxiety came on and did some feminist poetry which freaked out and shut up the seig heiling bone heads in the audience which was fun to watch, it's not a gig that anyone in any of the bands likes to talk about. Apart from the experience of seeing crass and exploited together it wasn't fun.

LMAO! Have you gotten sick yet from the comments by all the people missing out the fact that you are a taller person?!!! Great vid. I'm 6ft2 with a sprocker so can get away with the Jack Wolfskin gossamer 1. Great vid and congrats on raising the money.

When it was still a look out tower my nana used to clean there and at pit top back in the 1930's the old guy who used to live in it traveled on horse back down to Eston to get his supplies.

Remember seeing vin when I was 14 learning and started playing guitar at the cook in staithes and he was so amazing and pushed me to be the person I am today. Even remember when my mam would cross stitch and put it down and listen when he played silver and gold. Always had a laugh and a few drinks. Now I'm 35 and he still hits me with musical enchantment, always showed respect. Always had a laugh and he would help me to progress. What a loss but he will always be remembered as the humble amazing musician that will always be vin

Crass = Relevant Forever

respectful n*tzi's though??? that's some bs

just came across to something that is really close to the acapella song . the title is sinulescu la o rascruce de drumuri,

Vin was such a gentle man. Sadly missed. Love and peace.

Amazing. We're a hard people.

Recently my interest in Crass has been re-awakened. Mainly because of the current situation in the world. Not only the current state of things in the Ukraïne and Gaza, but since the invasion of Iraq and on. In the early 80's I was really into Crass, but I always resented their opinion on the Clash. Penny says it well, when he mentions Joe Strummer getting out of his Mercedes. Because on one side Crass tried to be non-judgemental, but on the other side they really were. I couldn't care less if the Clash was 100% correct, neither did I care if Crass was. Nobody's perfect. But I have always hated this backstabbing. Crass didn't realize enough, I think, how many punks back then, blindly followed everything they said. Including myself. And honestly, I still agree with most of the lyrics. The bands that made me interested in punk were the Clash and the Jam, when someone gave me a cassette with their first albums in the summer of 1977. I was 13 then, and it changed my life. If I didn't get this tape, I probably would have never found out about Crass some time later. Still I think Penny talks a bit like he's on top of it all. Like saying musically he didn't like rock 'n' roll or even punk, and he likes jazz and modern classical music. Hell yeah, I love Debussy, Grieg, Strauss (Richard), and the likes. Especially fond of the predecessor Beethoven. I am not too fond of Jazz, though, still I do like Reinhardt and Davis. To bring back the Strummer comparison: Richard Strauss was poor, but thanks to his music he also became quite wealthy. Shame on him. But really, I admire Crass for all their good ideas about a peaceful world, and that's what matters most to me. Therefore I dusted of their records and listen to them regularly. And guess what, at the age of 59 I still consider myself a punk.

Just watched it again, fantastic

I was born at Road Ends a quarter of a mile away 70 years ago. We didn't have hot water there.

Boring Upper Middle Class Hippy bleating about a society which allowed him to get paid to sit on his boring arse

it's not a tent.. more like bivvy tent. Too small too low not comfortable at all. The entrance is horrible narrow. Big man should find much bigger tent. At this weight 1.5 kg, you could find 2 person tent, for half price at chinese websites.

I really dont know why they didn't make the overlay sheet just slightly bigger so it stops the draft around the edges, other than that its a great tent

Just got back from a 4 day hiking trip in the Welsh Mountains. Took a brand new Ionosphere. The first time I put it up, one of the inner zips broke! The first ever use, totally let down by it in the middle of the mountains. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! The zips are rubbish.

Rip mate back to Cleveland tech

Craig thank you for posting this video, although fully aware of the plight at the time and of the voluntary work being carried out by many. One rarely gets to witness the hands on efforts of the volunteers or be made aware of how much of a difference a few volunteers make. Some 30yrs on, Romania has a thriving economy and a promissing future, I would like to think that others may view this video and realise that any of us can make a difference and be inspired to do so.

One of my favourite bands of all time accompanied by great art work. Love it.

Let's hope his wonderful voice and words of wisdom continue to be heard

He was just absolutely brilliant!! We first met him in Nantwich in 1987/88. He was just a genius, and a beautiful person. Very sadly missed.

Crass, is godlty, I'm 46, when I was a kid 13 years old, Crass Best Before 84, Feeding the 5000, godly!!!

AMAZING!!!!!

Much respect,nice outlook 👍

There will never be another Vin. Always loved and still love everything about that rare human being being ❤❤

I WAS SO SAD TO FIND THAT MY STEP MUM PASSED AWAY IN 2017 AND I KNEW THE KIND OF WORK SHE DID BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IM HEARING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, 10 YRS AFTER THIS VIDEO. WHAT A SHOCK. RIP JOAN AND DAD (ALAN GUY) I MISS YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND THINK OF YOU ALWAYS

Thanks for the review mate. Im 6'7 also and finding it difficult to get a long length bivy style bag/tent. This was extremely helpful. It is good to see reviews to help tall guys our size get something that was comfortable. Does it pack pack down small enough to go bikepacking? 👍Thanks again!

I was brought up in South Street at the bottom of Eston Hills I still live in Eston I'm nearly 55 now but as a kid the hills made a great playground. Part of my late mother's family have been in Eston since at least the time of James 1 they where the Snowdon family who ran the blacksmiths opposite the Stapleton pub until 1985.

I keep coming back to this video. I would do anything, including getting involved, to see a follow up of this film. I originally come from Stockton too, but moved away in 1987 - I'm about the same age as the lads, and would love to see what happened to them. They seem like a sounds bunch of lads, I'm sure many of them did well. I hope so.

@ around 5:00 - regarding the fly screen being too near to face - you can't always tell in viewing video, things aren't always quite as they appear - - but it looks like there's a loop stitched on to the outside of the net section - is there anything on the outer sheet which you could attach that to? - Which would get it away from you? If there's nothing you could tie that on to, perhaps running it down to a spare peg would help a little bit.. I've watched this review once or twice, but only just noticed this.

I said, i'll just check how PR was doing ...and i just couldnt stop the interview

A heart as big as Teeside, indeed. I had the privilege of having known Vin for many years. What a gent, he even played my guitar one time in the days of Redcar Folk Festival. He gave me solance at a close friends funeral, by pointing at a little flower, I'll never forget that. Gone but never forgotten. Bless ya Vin for your songs, music and banter. Xxx

1995. The last few years of Conservative Britain. It was crap down south so what it was like in the often forgotten North East I can only guess about. In the last GE these areas voted overwhelmingly for the Conservative party. I would be interested to know where these lads are today and what their views are on the big "levelling up" that was suppposed to happen in the wake of Brexit to areas such as theirs.

great advert this.

Hi - sorry to ask but at the start of the video you say Snugpack sent you this - was that send free for you to review?

Remember being in the Small Wonder record shop (think it was in walthamstow) and watching the guy behind the counter throw a young guy out for asking for a single in the charts!

This person is a hippy genius. He clearly did too much LSD. Crass ruined society and everything interesting about music until they decided to go Alternative. Look, they made it clear. Punk is Dead. Check out Prosthetic Church if you have any brains left after listening to Crass peeps. They were pretty much total hypocrites who set too high of a standard for them to live by as Anarchist hippy punks, proof that PUNK is a fascist related band of intellectual POSEURS trying to make themselves appear liberating as a movement when really they had no clue that they wrecked society and people's careers and ambitions in life. Update: Sorry, I was just in a bad mood yesterday. I don't really mind Crass's Alternative. It was just a joke for me to think I was ever "punk." It really was my mental illness. Note: I think Crass were just cashing in off whatever was trendy at the time in politics and taking it to the extreme, but yes, there's alot of fighting about race, sex, politics, species, and religion now because their ridiculously stubborn Anarchist politics. I'm glad Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher succeeded, but I definitely don't think they're very nice people, there's still alot of chauvinism and sexism in PUNK about politics and activism, which is why I moved on to Alternative. I'm sure they aren't too bad, but yes, I agree, they got too serious about PUNK. I've never been too serious about PUNK, I've always been considered too Alternative to fit into the politics of PUNK. I mean, I'm very open minded, for a Jewish and Nazi truce, and ending racial and political conflict. Sure, Crass had good intentions when they went Alternative, but there was alot of negativity that came out of PUNK also and why Steve and his new band is focusing on it truly baffles me. Let PUNK die. It's over. It's too mainstream, narcissist, POSEUR, mentally ill, and just filled with hate. It ruined society. Face it.

I am disappointed that PR blamed MT. She was just a puppet.
