I was a Mod I remember going to The Scene, The Discoteque and Whisky A GO GO and The Macabre in the 1960's I remember going to The Lyceum at The Strand, when I left school my first job was at Ludgate Circus we used to get a bus to the strand and go to The Lyceum in our lunch break. I loved shopping in Carnaby Street, riding scooters, going to Brighton, Canvey Island, Leysdowne. Great Music!

Baz and Viv!!! I'm suprised our paths haven't crossed..lol. Spent many a night in the Ruskins. Viv did you ever go to 'Oscars'? Was the green man I think.Tuesday nights for that one. Baz, I had a few breakfasts in the Blinkin owl, still go to Brighton Run (or Dick Turpin as it now is) and had my 40th in the Fortune....3 weeks before it closed down (nothing to do with me I swear!!).
