Profile Information

About Me:
Although I stop using the term Mod in the late 80's early 90's. It was other people that would call me a Mod. Funny enough, the chap I used to knock about with ( Hello Mr Harris ) was also like minded, not surprising then we became big pals and still are

As the years gone by, the old family genetic gene finally got to grips with my head, but I always look on the bright side, and realise I save a fortune in trips to the barbers

Which means more money for records, give me some early american R and B - or some mid 60s Uk / European beat, throw in some 60s Garage from the states and I am as happy as man can be.
Top 5 tunes at the moment:
ALL TIME TOP FIVE ARE
Action = Everthing !!!!!!
Dirty Wurds = Why
High Numbers = Zoot Suit
Him And The Others = I Mean It
Him And The Others = She's Got Eyes That Tell Lies
Vespa, Lambretta or other?
Loakes Royal Brogues
