[The Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTyC7qY41Bo) is one of my favourite ever tunes.

**ignatz** … There was a British Oi! band called The 4-Skins. Although it’s not mentioned in the Wiki article, If my memory serves me correctly, they were playing in Southall, West London in 1979 and their presence helped spark off a riot in which a teacher, [Blair Peach](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Blair_Peach) died, allegedly at the hands of an elite police unit.
