If Aggro is still around (and if he was my co-pilot) get him to e-mail me, please.

It was so fun to look through this site and see some familiar faces and it seems like yesterday seeing you all buzzing around Ely. Where are you all now? Being terrified? (ha ha )

Someone write back OK… in Seattle USA now.

Nice website! Would never have happened in Glasgow though, the mods ran riot in the 80’s up there…

Brilliant to see these pics, takes me back a bit. I found an old friend of mine from the eighties when we were mods together, together we’re trying to find all the mods from Glasgow and surrounding at that time. He has brilliant videos on youtube, if you want to check them out just search for glasgow mods tribute and glasgow mods tribute 2. They’re really good.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and if you know anyone who came from Glasgow and was a mod in the eighties, please let them know we’re looking for them all.

Great to see some photos of the Ely Mods, I was an Ely Mod between 1980 and up until I moved away in 1990, still riding scooters and have my own Lambretta restoration business up in Manchester, I used to hang out with Andy Kennedy and the younger lads from Littleport, didnt really hang out with your lot much so you might not remember me , I was more of a scooter boy later on and spent most of the time riding with Newmarket and Cambridge mods/scooterists.

I still have all 3 copys of Shadows and Reflections, one came with free floppy record and i have a cutting from the Ely Standard when you got kicked off your scoot after riding through soham.

I will sort some items out for you to include on website if you like, I come down to Ely every couple of months and usually go out somewhere with Andy Kennedy etc, a few of us put a reunion do on in the Kings Arms a few years back , Adam, Heidi, ‘Aggro’ Johnson, plus many others turned up and it was a top night until the end when ML kicked off fighting (some things never change).

All the best, Shaun Fairhead.

This is fascinating. Although never a mod, rocker or, for that matter, teddy boy, it’s interesting to see snippets of news about social tribes from years ago. The same on Goths please…
