The music I fell in love with emerged from the dark end of the 1970s: The Winter of Discontent of 1978-79, when intractable industrial action left the dead unburied and mountains of rubbish in the streets.

Ill omens that augured badly for the events of 3 May 1979, when Margaret Thatcher became our first woman prime minister.
