Listen to The Golinski Brothers' frontman talk about the Vault
From 1977 to 1980 Brighton's first wave of DIY musicians practiced and performed in a place called the Vault. One group even lived there.
The space was located beneath what is now Brighthelm church and was the resting place for 500 bodies in lead lined coffins.
But it was also tied to the bleak, semi-criminal atmosphere of Brighton in the late 70s.
Youth unemployment was high and punks feared daily attacks from Teds, the far-right National Front and even their own.
Yet the boundless creatitivity which occured in those narrow arches transformed the lives of some the musicians.
Darris Golinski, from John Peel favourites The Golinski Brothers, gives a tour of the Vault and share his memories of being a punk in Brighton.

What's behind the name?
Brighton has had more than its fair share of extradinary band names. Especially from its DIY scene.
From first wave punks like Peter and The Test Tube Babies and Atilla The Stockbroker, to modern acts like Slum of Legs.
But have you ever wondered how bands decide on their names why they choose to stick with them?
Daskinsey 4 gave BNDIY an insight into how this creative process worked for them.
