Mods Vs Rockers

[Basil Fawlty]

Watched Quadrophenia earlier, so it got me thinking which one were you? This is most probably for the oldies on NSC.

Weird this - i was going to post the very same poll yesterday and I didn't watch Quadrophenia. Think it was something to do with the fact the Goodwood Revival is 50s and 60s based this year.

Tough one for me.

Mod music

Rocker motorcycles

Dunno if I'll wear that. Might be too warm, Das. We'll see.

I'm thinking I might wear the brand new knitted Fred Perry with Farahs and desert boots.

Mods always were less rowdy. Too busy being peacocks.

There were some proper old school suedeheads at the Bad Manners gig on Monday. They looked the bloody business. Always loved the suedehead look. First time I came across it was at a Desmond Dekker gig back in the 80s in Worthing when I was a teenager. Very impressive.

In my town, the Mods (with the exception of one brave soul) were all NF.

All moved on since the bad days though, thankfully. It's all about the culture, the clothes and especially the music.

Concorde 2. He's lost a lot of weight. Down to about 15 stone. It was a cracking gig. I'd forgotten just how many hits they'd had.

Lorraine, Lorraine, Walking on Sunshine, My Girl lollipop, Lip up fatty, Can Can... Great evening. There seems to be a real revival in ska, northern soul and mod music in Brighton. Gonna check out the ska night at the Railway Hotel too soon. There's also Da doo ron ron and the Concorde had a Northern Soul all nighter recently.

I think if you're after something a bit rockier that the Volks and the Engine Room have regular nights with punk, ska, psychobilly kind of stuff. I'll go but am definitely stating at the back. I remember going to see King Kurt in Portsmouth years back. *shudder*
