Do You Remember...WHEN HUNDREDS OF 'PUNK' STUDENTS 'POGO' DANCED OUTSIDE THE UCG RESTAURANT DURING COLLEGE WEEK '78?


Associated with Punk Music and probably invented by Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols in 1976, pogo dancing involves dancers jumping up and down, while remaining in the same location. It takes its name from its resemblance to the use of a pogo stick, especially in a common version of the dance, where an individual keeps their torso stiff, their arms rigid, and their legs close together. 


The event was one of many innovative ideas organised by arts maestro Ollie Jennings in February 1978 when he was director of probably the most fun-packed UCG College Week ever.


This photo is posted in honour of the fact that, on October 27th 1977, the legendary and generation shaping Sex Pistols released their only studio album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols".
