'Fro-bituary

I think I should take a moment to comment on the demise of a friend to the mod circuit, briefly entering our virtual lives and bouncing along for a few days before slipping away into the inventory in the sky. Yes Graz's uber 'fro has slipped away; briefly resurrected at Soul Mods on Thursday but he just couldnt sustain that amount of hair growth. So, lets remember the 'fro fondly: how it took up all the room on the dance floor, how it attracted flies, how you could bounce on it..or how you could vanish into it...ah such happy times. But every 'fro has its day and this 'fro is over!

Talking Soul Mods, it was the final episode of the newly instigated triumvirate on Thursday with Sean taking the decks, and more frighteningly the mic. Okay initially I admit I thiought Donald Pleasance had been resurrected from the '71 film of Kidnapped, but slowly it seemed to dawn on us all that yep Sean is really Scottish. Amazing. Our southern party seem to struggled understanding him, nae bother for me I guess working in the shipyard with all those drunken Glaswegians paid off! Sean stuffed his music in his handbag which he carried with him all night, must have been tiring, whilst prowling around the floor looking for that opportunity to display his twinkling toes; but alas no opportunity was forthcoming ... amazingly, Sean's dancing has become legendary. Anyway, Sean vowed not to play any Small Faces and stuck to that rule although he skated by with some early Marriot and bands doing Small Faces covers. It was a very interesting set  and Sean's mic work was..err unique. Great music induces a great time and using that barometer Sean's set was astounding because we had a fantastic time, laughing joking mocking ... all the things that make a great mod night out. I was in and out of chat but in long enough to learn that Eden really isnt 43..SHE'S OLDER!  Hahaha,  Of course she's not, but its a laugh. And that my virtual friends is what lies at the heart of the Soul Mods ethos, having a laugh..and we do, you can too just jump on that tp!

  1. I had a lot of fun, and enjoyed getting to hear Sean talk. I liked his voice! As for Graz's fro, I don't think we've seen the last of it.
