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
