Renowned filmmaker Shane Meadows follows up the explosive award-winning This Is England ’86 with three new one-hour films. These are to be broadcast on Channel 4 over the festive period 2012 and available to buy from 26th December.
Originally there was to be a one off 88 film with a 1990 edition appearing in the spring. However after filming in May 2012, Meadows commented:
Liam Gallagher takes his band Beady Eye on the road again for a mini tour this autumn. The dates for the sixties-influenced rock n roll are:

Sheffield O2 Academy (12)

The face behind pretty green’s mod influenced clothing range and menace with a microphone has also revealed that he will be in the studio early next year working on new material. He told Radio 6 Music
“We’ve got enough material for another record and that is what we shall do, whether people like it or not.”
He was also pressed to comment on his brother’s new stuff to which he said…
“it was a lot better when I was singing on them but I am sure people will like the soft approach.”
Always good for a quote is Liam Gallagher. I found this video of him at the opening of his Pretty Green store in Glasgow. He loves his gear and the put downs at the end of this piece are brilliant.

Yesterday’s Radcliffe and Maconie show featured The Trojan Records Story box-set compiler, Laurence Cane-Honeysett. He discusses the new boxed set, the songs he chose and his love of Trojan Records, ska and reggae. Three songs played from the new History of Trojan Records boxed set are:
Harry J. All Stars — Liquidator
Winston Samuels — Lick It Back
Bob & Marcia — Take Me
Looks like it will be a great purchase even at £29.99 and will be on many Christmas lists this year. With a window sticker and a 50 page book it will allow another generation to get up to speed with Trojan music.
Yes it was August bank holiday and the press find a reason to tro
t out mod culture cliches again. Thank you Monday’s Sun Newspaper.
Interesting to hear from old mods around at the time but why is the focus always on a 5 minute scrap from decades ago? Can’t we hear more about the music or the clothes? Good to see some nice scooters and read that youths are into the scene. Not sure if the Kaiser Chiefs are really behind this though :-/
