<p>Hi, I've been v. busy lately, so unable to devote much time to the forums. So, apologies to the vast legions of readers (!) of my jazz tinge page for not adding to it lately. I'm hoping to get something done on Bill Evans during June. Meanwhile, I had a quick flick through Alan Johnson's autobiography the other day and there's some interesting stuff on his Mod youth, a couple of references to the Small Faces and other insights as to the social background of Mods in West London.

<p>Hi, I've been v. busy lately, so unable to devote much time to the forums. So, apologies to the vast legions of readers (!) of my jazz tinge page for not adding to it lately. I'm hoping to get something done on Bill Evans during June. Meanwhile, I had a quick flick through Alan Johnson's autobiography the other day and there's some interesting stuff on his Mod youth, a couple of references to the Small Faces and other insights as to the social background of Mods in West London. Also, does anyone know why at vintage fairs there are more tables and chairs than items of men's clothing? Is it down to the usual 'men aren't interested in clothes' cliche of the mainstream media or is it true that most men in the 1950s and 1960s owned one shirt and one suit which is gathering dust in an attic? Any thoughts?</p> oh no misses!

<p>Some of you may have seen that the Memoirs of former Home Secretary Alan Johnson have just come out (he was looking very dapper on TV last night, I noticed). Now I know politics is probably not the best subject for this site, but it's worth remembering that Alan Johnson was a mod in the early 60s and grew up in North Kensington/Notting Hill at a time of great change. His book is called ''This Boy: A Memoir of a Childhood" and apparently he talks about his love for Mod style. Might be worth a…</p>

<p>Not sure where to put this question, but is there anyone out there who saw or remembers the band Weekend, early 80s from Cardiff? I used to have their LP <em>La Varieté</em> and stumbled across some footage of them on you tube from The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1982. Reminded how good it was.</p>

<p>I'm wondering whether there shouldn't be quite a lot of 50th anniversaries of major events over the next two to three years, especially as we're getting close to, I suppose, 50 years since the most iconic mod year: 1964. I recently found some clips on youtube of the Modstock event in Germany in 1994, which I went to. It was like the last nineteen years hadn't taken place, seeing some of those moments flash back out of nowhere! Any plans for a big 50th anniversary event next year…</p>
