Its been a year since we met on the deck. So Wynonie, Mr C, Steeljack, Jaysay, lets meet up and get the train up to Glasgow. And have a look at the Glasgow Mods. Glasgow Mods WebSite » Glasgow Mods - R&B, British Beat Music, Motown, Northern Soul Some interesting stuff on there.

Re: The Deck
 

Doesn't seem a year has passed since this thread was last addressed , "where has the time gone, apart from more nose and ear hair " ;) for some reason I allways remember Accrington 'wakes' weeks coinciding with the Glasgow'fair' when all the Glaswegian/Gorbals tongs (gangs)were in the same resorts as us , (Isle of Man/Blackpool) , beautiful lasses but nasty malefolk , allways looking for a battle .

Re: The Deck
 

good site al, good footage on the mods n rockers t-party down clacton n brighton, just a shame the big one on the "Deck" was never filmed.:D

Re: The Deck
 

That brings back happy memories, "I'll meet thi on't Deck at 8 o'clock on Satdy neet" can't remember how man times I said that little line in my teens. Seem to remember also that in the late 70s the "mods" used to hang round the Copper Kettle Cafe on Peel Street, with all the scooters parked outside, grea big long arrials on them:cool:

Re: The Deck
 

Yea Steely, I remember Glasgow Fair too, Blackpool etc, they used to take over, worked a season at Butlin's, in Wales. and they used to wreck the place, if we saw a mob coming towards us we'd walk the other way or run.

Re: The Deck
 

I used to meet on the Deck on Saturday nights, one of the guys we called John the hippie. I went to Rhyddings with him. We used to hang out at the Blue Dahlia when everyone was "popping pills". And I used to ride on some of the "Mods" scooters after the disco had finished. Those where the days. I think Accy has gone to pot. I will be over in the UK in Sept, so I will see what changes have been made.

Re: The Deck
 

Right, Al, well thanks for the trip up to Glasgow. Time to come back down South now to talk to some English mods www.modculture.co.uk
