Glasgow Mods - R&B, British Beat Music, Motown, Northern Soul

Mod or Modern music developed in London, England in the late 1950s to mid 1960s. As much a lifestyle as a musical style mods sported short bobbed haircuts and distinctive clothes. Mods were inspired by American r&b, soul, Jamaican ska, and bluebeat combined with hard rock influences like the The Who and Small Faces. Mods frequented all night dance clubs listening to early bands like the Beatles who’s r&b influences had not yet inspired the British Invasion. Mods who favored high fashion often clashed with conventional rock fans known as rockers who wore T-shirts and leather.
