Riassunto

Mods: Two City Connection tells the story of the Mods but from the standpoint of young people who weren’t from the established ‘trend setting’ areas of London, Manchester or Liverpool – they were from the East Midlands cities of Leicester and Nottingham. Based around the themes of social, financial and creative freedom the book utilises first hand eye witness accounts and images, capturing memories that have never been told before. The book, by Leicester author Shaun Knapp, challenges perceptions associated with the Mods while exploring the themes of fashion, music, individuality, transport, drug use, gender and race, anti-social behaviour and legacy. The book re-visits legendary hang-outs visited by the Leicester and Nottingham Mods including The Nite Owl, The Il Rondo, The Twisted Wheel and the Dungeon. It includes chapters written by the creatives and ‘faces’ from the two Mod scenes. The book includes a fascinating foreword by Nottingham author, Alan Fletcher, author and story consultant, Quadrophenia.
