Here here Andrew, you were ace

some great footage of 1st generation Mods on it. I thought the  Nottingham Mods were top class.

But what did my head in , is the way all this great music gets mentioned, while 99% of the music in the background is non descript lift musak, fecking pay the royalties and play the real deal...

They said they was going to use the music that was played at Moddingham but sadly no! I bet Suggs wanted to play some Madness eh? ha ha

Nice one Andy. I saw the programme on Saturday night there. Both you and Trish were class in it so well done for that. The actual programme was quite good too even with the addition of the rockets. I have to admit that I prefer some of those classic bikes to what some people do with scooters.

Saw it on YouTube! ;-) Great work Andy and Tricia!

I only wish there was some sort of interest here in Oz for our own Mod scene. There is of course the book Stark Raving Mod, but for me (who was born in the 1980's), but according to a mate of mine, there weare quite a number of errors! LOL!

I must admit, I enjoyed the Rockers part also, especially as they have the same zeal and passion for their subculture as we do for ours. Well, except for the clobber and sense of style...

Well done again to Tricia and Andy for being the most articulate and smart people on this programme. In fact all the mods interviewed came off well - though not so sure about Mr Jurrasic Mod with his Jurrasic Parka..

the problem with the media when they present these type of shows is it becomes about nothing more than fights .

why does mod have to share its 60mins of fame  with bikers clad in leather and reeking of castrol ?

why cant we have a bit of detail about what mod was about and the various facets of it  that still attract newcomers to it   to this day whether it be by music ,clothes or scooters ?

i dont need to know about a rockers  triton crossbreed of a motorbike or about how many studs they  had in their  leather jackets   thanks all the same
