Berlin Bromley is written with considered sarcasm, wit, and ought to be snapped up by every aspiring fashion student, wannabe outsider or worried mother and it's hard to put down. More importantly, thank God for the chance to relive some of the Punk magic that makes reality TV all the more redundant! - From the foreword by Boy George

Berlin Bromley is to the late '70s London, what Warhol's Popism was to 1960s New York. This revealing memoir by Bertie Marshall, formerly known as "Berlin" in the notorious Bromley Contingent, cuts to the core of the punk sensibility of 1976/77. Combining the outrageous zeitgeist with the lifestyle of scenester and rent boy, Marshall's account bristles with a searing honesty. The Bromley Contingent included Siouxsie Sioux, Steve Severin, Billy Idol and Jordan. Marshall is the ideal narrator, taking in Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's Sex shop, the formation of the Sex Pistols and the gay netherworld of late 70s London. Now, thirty years since his infamous Berlin Baby's Bondage Party took place, Bertie Marshall has written the post-glam, pre-punk version of "The Naked Civil Servant".
