“Book arrived. I absorbed every word and fell into every picture. It's a proud piece of work. Thanks for asking me to be involved.”

Andy Fairweather Low

“Mod to me is about being open and not being closed. There are no rules. It’s not just about the 60’s and scooters, it’s also about fashion and nice design – it’s about getting the best of everything and being open to all cultures.”

Eddie Crole

DJ and Mod, Porthcawl

“Me and my friend Mike Vincent found this shop called The Regal in London and got quite friendly with the owner. Cardiff had quite a limited choice of clothes at the time – particularly the psychedelic stuff we were interested in.”

James Parker

DJ and promoter, Cardiff

“Brilliant book, beautifully done”

Jonny Owen

Writer and film director

“Anything to get an edge. Rounded jacket fronts. Two three and even four button jackets. The boxy Italian jackets had short side vents maybe two or three inches long at the most.”

Jeff Banks

Fashion designer

“I was 19 when I got my first scooter. I had no wing mirrors simply because I couldn’t afford them. It was lucky that I could afford the the crash bars and the screen.”

Geoff Nicholas

Original mod, Gwent

“My red denim jacket with dogtooth trousers was my trademark look. The trousers would usually be second hand too because they would be better fabric. I would wear them with suede shoes. I even used to carry a suede brush around with me.”
