This paper identifies and elaborates on a ‘London in the 80s Indie music milieu’; this bohemian milieu was typified by a socially unconventional network of squats and housing coops, and often included those involved in Indie music.  Particularly, the newly formed milieu was seen as a potential resource for developing agency and for changing cultural practices. However, some members of this milieu were at-risk. Changing cultural practices here can be viewed as the appropriation of music performance and its means of delivery: put simply, the picking up of an instrument and having a go. This was the scene in between Punk and Acid, in which I played a minor part (e.g. as the bass player for Strawberry Switchblade), and which has so far been under explored. I used Photo-story research method for episodes 1-7 of my photo stories blog. For my analysis, I used the triangle of structures, agency and (changing) cultural practices derived from an expansion of Structuration theory by Giddens (1984, p. 1-40); for our expansion see Pachler, Bachmair and Cook (2010). One issue that arose was that stories are sometimes private, sometimes public, sometimes somewhere in between. For the full report see Cook (2022)
