Mods Are News Punk Is History
It's East London and Essex in 1979 and the mod revival is gaining momentum. The Jam's seminal album All Mod Cons was released in November 1978 and Quadrophenia is yet to be premiered in London in 1979...
This is episode One of a series of podcasts documenting the Mod Revival from interviews with women who were part of this vibrant scene. Stepping out of the austerity of the late 70s and early 80s into an alternate universe, bands, clubs, scooters, bank holidays and style.
