The Ainsworths
The friendly, loud, and highly active local band that shared both stages and records with the Dabs and the wider punk circuit.
Legacy
The Ainsworths were one of the bands that crossed paths frequently with The Dabs and the broader North Shore scene. They also shared a 7" with The Regulators, and their music helped define the feel of that era.
This page keeps the memory alive as part of the archive’s wider web of related acts.
