All about Mod, Mods and the Mod scene from the 1960s, through the revival and into the present day
Colin MacInnes’ tale of the teenager at the turn of the sixties – Absolute Beginners – has already been a novel and a (widely panned) film. And now it’s set to be a play, debuting at London’s Lyric Theatre. Details are so far quite sparse, but according to web sources: […]
Interesting video from Noonday Underground, going back to 2001.
