‘Mods: The New Religion’ - Book Launch



SADLY THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED

Come down to the store for the book launch of ‘Mods: The New Religion’ by Paul 'Smiler' Anderson.

Mod may have been born in the ballrooms and nightclubs around London but it soon rampaged throughout the country. Young kids soon found a passion for sharp clothes, music and dancing, but for some it was pills, thrills and violence.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The original Mod generation tell it exactly how it was, in their very own words.

First-hand accounts of the times from the people who were actually on the scene.

Top faces, scooter-boys, DJs, promoters and musicians build up a vivid, exciting snapshot of what it was really like to be with the in-crowd.

Packed with rare pictures, ephemera, art and graphics of the era.

Featuring interviews with Eddie Floyd, Martha Reeves, Ian McLagan, Chris Farlowe and many more.

‘[This is] the book you need to know about the real Mod scene…and the nearest you can get to a Mod Bible.’

Steve Ellis 60s Mod & lead singer of The Love Affair
