Short Story of a Young Mod in The Mid 60's

Posted on February 14, 2012 at 14:00 6 Comments

(Part 1)

 

Being born and growing up in London’s Eastend it was inevitable that I would come across the great music and fashion called Mod. The music could be heard in any Church Hall Youth Club that we attended. People would bring their records along to play on the club's record player - usually a Dansette.

peter i absolutely loved your profile story and its as if my family could have wrote it! my dad and aunt grew up in stepney and i only have to imagine what the scene was like from their stories, its really strange as i didnt live with my dad growing up but Mod must have been in my blood because when i did meet up with him again in the early 80's (after years estranged) he laughed at my mod pencil skirt and checked jacket and said i looked like my aunt 20 years earlier! i had no idea they had been mods but i was second generation mod!  My brother who was brought up in care was (still is) a skinhead! weird eh!

Hi Pete,

Great to be in touch again, is that Terry Gale from Barkingside in the Merry Fiddler's pub picture?

Read your article on cars, here's a picture of my Cortina in Ilford 1968.  It's my only picture.

Chris.
