Brighton Mod Weekender!

It's that time again! Right here, right now! ('The In Crowd, Out' above)

London may have given birth to the Mod(ernist) movement, but Brighton where I live is its spiritual home, and every August Bank Holiday weekend the Vespa and Lambretta hordes descend on this seaside city.

After I moved here in 2019, I started a series of art prints centered around some of the city's landmarks - the Palace Pier, Grand Hotel, the Bandstand, the West Pier - and held an exhibition at Hotel Pelirocco in September 2019.

So this weekend is shaping up to be a good one, with a smattering of club events and the king of Two-Tone Mr. Jerry Dammers himself, deejaying at Ska Train on the seafront.
