In our South African newspapers the clashes between the Mods and the Rockers were often reported. I can remember pictures in our Cape Argus showing them fighting on Brighton beach. To us kids it was horrifying!I was doing some research to write up a life story for the kids and had this article as a referenced link. It’s about the scene in Leicester in the early 1960s. I guess many of the older Forumites may well have similar experiences. For the record I felt Bob Dylan was overrated 😱
