In the mid-to-late fifties, the term "Rock-A-Billy" found its way into the vocabulary of America's youth, with Bill Haley and His Comets leading the charge in this short-lived musical movement. By 1962, Rock-A-Billy had largely faded from the mainstream, but in present day London, its spirit lives on. From the fashions and attitudes to the tattoos and music, Rock-A-Billy culture endures for those who know where to look. In venues like The Tennessee Rock and Roll Club, the Teddy Boy society keeps its legacy alive. Visually arresting in its approach, The Teddy Boys of the Edwardian Drape Society offers a glimpse into this little-known world of late-night London.
