Laugh, Cry, Think
How would you describe your musical style? Modernist. A nod to the past but a wink in the present and a view to the future. Why did you decide to take part in Modtoberfest? A fantastic event, charity led and a chance to play some heavy 45s nice and loud What does Mod/Ska mean to […]
How would you describe your musical style? That’s such a hard one! I guess most of the vinyl I collect is 60’s mod, freakbeat, RnB and soul, the kind of tunes that really get your feet moving, well definitely for me anyway! I have to admit I’m terrible with song titles and artists though, oh […]

Pete and I both play in The Mayday Dreamers, who weren’t available […]
Cue: The Purple Hearts “Early in the Morning”. 3 great bands. 6 superb Djs. Fantastic light show and clips. Splendid venue. Marvelous crowd. Good stuff. 4:00 am or there abouts. The Sly Fox dance floor that had been packed during the night and into the wee small hours of the morning now only had five […]
