Hi
Amazed after 50 years to find a link to Bobby King and the Sabres.
Saw them back in the early 60's, sure Bobby King had red/ginger hair ?
I was a mod around south east London 59/65 and can name a few places where we went for music/dancing and meeting up.
First original mods 1959/1960 onwards.
Younger "little mods" 1964/66 as seen Quadrophenia.
1960/61 Over 21 Club Cecil rooms Charlton.
Black Cat Woolwich, El Partido Lewisham, Savoy Catford, Greenwich Town Hall, La Discoteque Peckham, Glenlyn Peckham Green Man Blackheath , further out Black Prince Bexley , Starlight Rooms Brighton, across the river Chez Don Dalston, but all these just filled in spare time as we were up in town as much as possible mid week and all weekend.
Roaring 20's Carnaby Street, la Discoteque & Flamingo Wardour Street,
Scene Ham Yard and Lyceum Strand , there were loads of other places and coffee bars in Soho.
Because of regular fights between north and south Thames, we rarely crossed the river and same for those north of the Thames coming south.
great to read all the stories and memories from back then. Happy to relate more about early " mod life" if anyone's interested.
