The occasion? Why 30 years since some pop song was released ‘Ghost Town’, FWIW.
Sample quote:
‘Released on 20 June 1981 against a backdrop of rising unemployment, […] it expressed the mood of the early days of Thatcher’s Britain for many. “It was clear that something was very, very, wrong,” the song’s writer, Jerry Dammers, has said.’

Unfortunately the ‘very, very, wrong’ bit refers to a year earlier, in 1980, only a year into Conservative rule, when the song was written, so rather an important bit of lost context there (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2002/mar/08/artsfeatures.popandrock)
