Chris C It was definitely a fantastic time to be a Mod in Glasgow TYB. There was an awful lot of Mods around, and there were an incredible amount on scooters. In some ways you would have to be there and walk up the Barras on a Sunday, or go along the Clydeside on a Saturday night, or go up to the Scene Club to believe how many were going around then. Apart from that most people would think we were guilty of exaggerating how strong it was in Glasgow at that point. Even better (to me anyway) was the fact that everybody connected with scooters were Mods, there were no scooter boys or anything like that then. The perfect combination; scooters and style.

Chris C I can think of quite a few worse things, but I won't say what they are as I would not want to upset people who are not (or were not) Mods.

yeh crackin photos, the Modrapheniacs, always loving to add their club name onto their scoots...one of the few scooter clubs that can truthfully put their hands on their hearts and say they have ran continuous from formation....

For some reason that always annoys me, such as a certain scooter club on the west coast of England which goes by the name of a ska label kidding on the club has run since 1968...

qwhat I was trying to highlight though was teh type of dandies who thought they were too cool for school and bandied Motown as mainstream and thus not fine enough for them...well... that was till teh amber nectar started flowing and the dancefloor started going and suddenly, Tamla was top a the pops again...Motown magic...a phrase that can never be overused in my opinion...

Northern Soul and the mod scene has always been a bit weird....we were DJ'ing down at a Bristol Mod do and oit was annoyingly full of mods up their own bahookies, who advised you how they despised Motown and Northern....yet when we DJ'd that night, these were the main dance floor fillers!!!

Northern in the main was purely non marketed Detroit type magic...stuff like Melba Moore's Magic Touch were in my opinion, just great soul, no matter whether northern or not....KTF Glasgow is my message...

Not long after this incident, (ps cheers Camey for the support that evening if ya remember), I remember bumping into a few of the ICF lot who were riding vespas at the time.... a young lad called Barry was always with them....he was always in awe of Donald if my memory serves me right.... ahh to be someone must be a wonderful thing....

I thinlk it was Andy who done the write up on oor pals fae Embra, the Exploited...Andy is the editor of the magazine, a good lad and plays with a ska band also... not being a mod himself he would not understand the greif this song caused probably

Chris C Since it is the time of goodwilll to all we will forgive him his extreme ignorance TYB. I remember well the Gathering of the Clans concert at the Apollo in March 1982 featuring the fat man and his band. I don't think it was the Mods who ended up F...ed that night Li Li !

Happy New Year to all !
