Photographer Ricky Adam captured Belfast’s punk scene, which was centred on the Warzone collective and its spittle-flecked venue, Giros. Here he gives the background to each image. ‘I got my first camera in 1997. I just snapped photos here and there: I was more into the music and drumming in bands. I didn’t really know what I was doing, which in some ways was quite good. There’s an innocent youthfulness that comes through.’ A book, Belfast Punk , is out now, published by Damiani.
