Glasgow Mods Story

noreply@blogger.com (Stevie FC) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:08:00 +0000

This has only just been started (you can see there are a lot of gaps to fill) and I'm looking to Glasgow Mods themselves to fill in the story.

Chris C has already added some fantastic insights into the Glasgow Mod scene and anyone who can add more in the way of info about the people and places involved, their own stories, or photos of the events and venues would be much appreciated and help to complete the Glasgow Mods story and leave a lasting memory of our scene and our times.
