“Hundreds
of sharp-suited mods revved into Brighton for an annual reunion. The
popular Mod Weekender returned in a cloud of scooter smoke as trendsetters from
around the country descended on the city.
Scores
of mods parked their Vespas and Lambrettas outside the Volks nightclub in
Madeira Drive, made famous in the film Quadrophenia. Live
bands played on Saturday afternoon. Yesterday
a scooter competition took place in the afternoon – then the mods saddled up
for a cruise to Beachy Head and back.
Evening
events were also held at Komedia in the North Laine to celebrate mod culture.
Last
night, hundreds watched a live preview of an upcoming mod-themed musical called
All or Nothing. Stars including Football Factory actor Danny Dyer and
EastEnders bad boy John Altman appeared on stage in a mini-performance of the
show, set to tour the country in spring next year.”
