Jim at the scooter show ‘n’ shine

Jim came along with his little red scooter, to the ‘show n shine’, that was part of the 80s Mod Revival weekend at the museum. He shares his memories of playing mod music with bands like The Key, The Go and The Interceptors and explains how sharp the mod scene was, compared to the other fashions at the time, “at that time in Australia in the early 80s, growing up was about getting a mullet, getting a pair of stubbies, getting some thongs and putting some zinc on your nose!”
