I think more a case of being dressed-up by their manager in a cynical (and misplaced) bid to capture Skinheads as an audience!

What was a typical Saturday come 1971? In 1969 it would have been London for a bit of shopping, pose in the afternoon at the North Bank Highbury, and a few pints in the evening. Or alternatively London shopping, home to get ready and then off to Ilford Palais to spend the evening listening to Motown, Atlantic / Stax.
I saw Desmond Dekker at the Daylight Inn in Petts Wood, Kent. Another venue which didn't have a strict dress code. I think the more you penetrated into the 'leafy suburbs' to a venue the more casual became the attitude of the management.
Borehamwood Became a New Town, in the 50s/60s to accommodate Families From the Slum Clearance of North and North West London, Many would have moved up there in their Teens taking the latest London fashions with them.
