Yes Kathryn and with that sort of money incentive too that's on offer we know there is bound to be a big take up from willing participants and unfortunately other advertisers will see a Big Name Like Lucozade   using the popularity within the Media that has now latched on to the Northern Soul Dancing Popularity (Once Again) wanting to have their four Pennies worth Too, So Northern Soul Once Again the Victim of its own success.

18 - 35 hmmm 🤔 won’t be many on here going then 😂

Another nail in the coffin perhaps , but, if it's any consolation - the real mod scene still survives in one form or another despite decades of being pastiched, insulted & misrepresented.

The only concern to me is those who are easily persuaded that an image shown on TV (or even worse social media) is genuine and start popping up at proper events only to be disappointed (or even worse trying to change what we have into what they think it should be!)

Indeed, I recognise a few real mods I know well within it.

no one saying it was offensive, just come over to me as a low/poor quality post

not really wanted or needed on here hence my comments

 

In an interview when asked how the dancers kept going all night Russ Winstanley replied " Lucozade". 

 

As it's aimed at the Twat-tok generation I guess they'll be pottering about to Terry Callier - Look At Me Now ...
