The story of 60's Mod "If you’re old enough, people will say you’ll always remember what you were doing when you heard John Kennedy was assassinated (November 22, 1963). My mum broke the news, I was cutting my mate Allan B’s hair in my bedroom in preparation for going to the Scene Club (Soho) on my scooter, we went anyway, but it was closed, as was most of the West End. From my mid-teens until the present I cut my own hair, and at that time many of my mates as well. As we became Mods, we needed to avoid the shears of the old-time “short-back-and-sides” barbers. Instead I was able to provide a layered look with a fringed edge."

Re: The story of 60's Mod I fully agree Jeff - this guy really did live it and you have to say his experience of the mod scene is not exactly the one portrayed in Quadrophenia!
What Robert would most of all like is to share his story with mods of any generation and he is keen to produce a complete book on his mod experience (I know he has more than enough material to fill one). So, if anyone has any contacts who can help with this or offer advice, please get in touch.
I need the advice! I'm looking for good book about the MODS RIOT since 60'. How was in the beginning? I'm quite new here and still young (hopefully). If somebody has any ideas what to read, let me know!
