Southend Punk was saddened to hear of the passing of Punk icon Jordan (23.06.55 - 03.04.22 ), born Pamela Rooke and also known as Jordan Mooney. I'll never forget visiting Seditionaries on the Kings Road as one of the legions of teenage punks inspired and indeed compelled to go there, and being served and helped by Jordan to get some long saved up for black bondage trousers and the classic Destroy muslin tops. Vivienne Westwood's clothes would truly make you feel invincible, and Jordan really was such an inspiration.
Her book 'Defying Gravity: Jordan's Story' is essential reading, and her performance in Derek Jarman's Jubilee is still thrilling.
