Wondering if anyone had been to the Shaping a Generation exhibition in Leicester. I wouldn't mind going but Leicester of all places?

An old Chantry Mod mate of mine lives up that way now, well Sutton Colefield, married 1st Gen’ Mod lady who did a talk at the opening night. She was one of the first females to really take Continental fashions and adapt them here, with photos to prove! Gill Evans Catling, still KTF!

Gill Evans, I've heard the name and I just googled her and there is a piece on her and some pics of her and your mate Stuart? on Modcloset

Those blokes in their fifties and sixties who still think they are twenty one and sport a Paul Weller haircut do make me laugh. They look ridiculous. There are one or two round here like that.

Must admit I tend to agree with you there, I am not keen on the Weller look - even on youngsters.

Of course the Weller haircut is the Marriott haircut.

I'm modelling myself on an 80's icon these days with the haircut and body. Always did like Buster Bloodvessel.

Those In their fifties will be from the Mod revival of 1979. Although Mod culture is always evolving so it can't be pinned down to any particular age group.

One of my friends did a talk too, but that was more about the later 60s fashions/dandyisms...

Weller has taken it to new levels - quite literally, much more bushy.

Evolving maybe. But the real mods were those of us riding Lambrettas and Vespas in the mid sixties.

I love hearing tales from back then, but it was a 3 year thing, tops, for most. A friend of mine I shall be drinking with after the game tommorow was an original, lived it, clothes, gigs, clubs, the first SS180 seen in Ippo( he moved to London in 63’)bought from Grimsteads, but has little of the knowledge we have picked up over the last 40 years. For the record, the Weller look on fat mid 50 year olds is a source of amusement and embarrassment to the rest of us! I’m more mid century/Ivy now.

yes they were and chasing me and my mates (as per avatar) at bank holidays at clacton or yarmouth. i remember a group of mods from landseer rd who i went to the civic college with in 64 , who were a hard bunch.
the so called evolving mods remind of week end re enactors

When you say “Real” you should just swap that for “Original”. You can’t preclude someone from being a Mod because they were born too late.

Anyway, a lot of the original Mods just packed it in after jumping on the bandwagon, it was purely a fashion fad. Same as the revival Mods, half of them were wearing the wrong clothes and listening to the wrong music anyway.

The original Mods were starting circa 1958 so does that preclude the mid sixties Mods from being “Real” Mods?

I accept your point.I was being slightly tongue in cheek. Most of the “original” Ipswich mods were a fairly peaceful bunch. More interested in the music, clothes and mod girls than fighting “Greasers” I was not aware of any mod movement in the late 50s. As I recall there Teddy Boys , and a few beatnicks.

Bluesville at The Manor Ballroom on a Monday night was a must. Fantastic R&B bands. I honestly cannot recall whether there were any specific pubs, but The Gondolier coffee bar next to The Cock and Pie was popular.
