About me:
..
An (ex???) Mod that listens to a little Punk & Oi as well. Originally from South London and then Crawley, West Sussex I have now lived in Denmark for a few years now. But as they say once a Mod always a Mod..... Am also a Dj (Mod sounds & related) when I get the chance and have spun in various clubs in Denmark. Have also been told that im now one of the resident Djs at Club Mau Mau in Copenhagen by the Mau Mau gang (cheers). Get in touch if you need a Mod/60s etc Dj. Denmarks biggest music mag SoundVenue called me the local "Modfather" in issue #19 but I dont really know how to take that, ha. Had various scooters in the past, Lambretta LI 150, Cento Starstream 125, Vespa PX 125 and an Lambretta LD 150 Mk 2 etc. Autumn (fall to you Yanks) 2007 I bought another lambretta LD 150 MK 2 from 1956 which should be on the road soon.
Music is a very important part of my life. My music taste varies from Mod (60s and 79 revival), Northern Soul, 60s Freakbeat, Garage, Psychedelia, Powerpop, Underground, Oi, Punk and any other music that is not full of crap. I also collect records myself and feel that my Mod collection (which I started in 1978) is one of the best around and it includes Mod Revival, Powerpop, Freakbeat, Psych, Garage, Ska, Northern Soul/Tamla and even Punk & Oi. I travel to England as much as I can and try to see as many bands/mates as possible when im over, you could even say that I actually plan my returns home to coincide to whos playing and where.
Socialising, listening and watching a good band is a must. Political correctness and all the other bollocks connected with it does not interest me at all, people lying and hiding about the real facts and problems of society need there heads examined. Lets face the real problems and stop pretendng that all is well and that everyone is happy and the same, were not.
Live south of Copenhagen and started seriously selling records over the internet in 2002. Now one of Denmarks and Scandinavias top sellers of rare Scandinavian vinyl. Rare unique vinyl and picture sleeves from any group or artist that has had issues released Scandinavia the last 50 years.
Concerning football my main passion is Chelsea Football Club. Been supporting them since I was born and the last few years has been great, but the 70s, 80s and 90s were all good in there own way. Dont give nothing for these idiots that support a club because of success. The ones who saw Chelsea on a wet and windy wednesday in the past playing Oldham or Wrexham in the old second division get my respect and thats the way it should be. Try to see Chelsea as much as I can. Used to follow England across europe alot as well in the past. Im glad I did it when the true hard core followed England, they still do but but now theres alot of PC people tagging along thinking football is a cosy family occasion. Football is Football.
My other interests are Scooters (Lambretta & Vespa), The Last Great Act of Defiance Scooter Club and being with mates I trust and respect. Travelling and meeting new people and trying to understand what they are saying (and visa versa). Checking out the local talent and the local boozers. Trying to find the hotel when totally slaughtered is always a good laugh and basically enjoing life to the full. No time for idiots, lifes to short for that. Been to many places in Europe an will continue until flying is banned as well.
..
Who I'd like to meet:
Me about 25 years ago, I would of had a good laugh with myself or me and myself would of smacked the shit out of each other.
People with a mind of their own. Steve Marriott (Small Faces) and Keith Moon (The Who) would of been a laugh to of had a drink with but sadly both are dead (RIP). Puff the Magic Dragon. The Small Faces live. Any old face from the distant past ive lost touch with over the years. People with the same interests are always welcome, so I suppose that excludes country, reggae and heavy metal likers - ha. Boy bands/fabricated music and everything connected with all that crap should be turned into nuclear waste and buried as deep as possible, then maybe the youth of today would stand a chance of not getting brain washed. Couldnt ask for better mates so anyone else I meet and like is always a bonus. If your one of those PC idiots please f**k off. I fly with pride The Union and Saint George flags, have an extra cross on my hot cross bun, call a black board a black board and am proud of my countrys history and culture, unlike you PC muppets.....
