- About Me:
- I was very into the Mod scene in Birmingham in the 80,s, Top Rank, Barrel Organ , the Outrigger, and the love of my life Lambretta SX 200.
For those that remember the Sunday runs at that time, here is a bit of History, as the Mod scene was waining and the Sunday runs had fewer and fewer people after a good few yrs I knew it was the end when myself and good mate, Ayf, were the only two to turn up one sunday and we knew the scene had died, a very sad day, we just looked at each other knowing the life we had was over, it was the end of a huge scene, thankfully there are enough of us to not let it die altogether.
- Top 5 tunes at the moment:
- The night
Out on the floor
The Letter
The in crowd
Hang on Sloopy
- Vespa, Lambretta or other?
- Lambretta ( once upon a time)

After last months first Club Mojo you never know if its going to be any good the second time round. What with kids off school, taking the parents spare cash and an opening ceremony for the Olympics on the same night, could this one be as good?. Well, thankfully, there seems to be enough olympic hating, no dependents, people out there because it was another good turnout from the dating site as well as music lovers from the locality.
Again, there were not many Mods as such, but then I…

Baby Love

This weekend found me at The Knights Quest pub in Blackheath on the outskirts of Birmingham. It is a regular venue for bands and has something on every week. As there was nothing going on in the city centre (well not that I could find) I took myself there to see see a girl group called "Baby Love", you have probably guessed from the name they were a tribute band to the sixties girl groups.
Well, first off, I…
