Mestizo Sounds presents MODS

This is a programme dedicated to the cool sounds of the mods. A genuine youth movement originated in Great Britain in the swinging sixties years. London was the coolest place on earth between 1962 to 1964 when young people flew there in hordes to hang around the smokey jazz clubs in Soho. Vespas riding through the narrow streets of Central London and mini skirts wore by the thin London young girls. Jazz, Blues and Soul was the music to listen and great bands were emerging every day immersed in these sounds. Small Faces, Graham Bond Organisation, The Artwooods, Rod Stewart the Mod singing in the Steampacket of Long John Baldry, The Birds (with the right spelling and counting with future Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood), the Action, The Attacks, The Zoot Money Big Roll band, The Creation, the Who, etc. Even the non-mod bands were influenced and the rest of the world was soon catching up and following all the action happening in London. Even Bob Dylan changed his folk days attire for the Carnaby Street style. So please stay connected, relax and enjoy the cool sounds of the Mods! A podcast programme dedicated to Russell Taylor who passed away 4 years ago and is missed so much by friends and music lovers. He was the founder of Crocodile records and the best man to be found behind a counter in a record shop. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the best music was the best guide to browsing among piles of records.
