New Untouchables Brighton Mod Weekender 2013

So last month I went to the Brighton Mod Weekender and to Brighton for the first time.
High lights of the weekend: Great DJs due in the evening events I went to, I mean I'm not a massive fan of Ska but that night I danced my ass off to it! Soul and R&B was blasting away for most of the night, so I was in my element.
Scooter rally on the Sunday; I was shocked with the amount of scooters that were there on the Sunday. Not just your generic Vespa's & Lamberetta's either, there were some great beasts of scooters there. The smell of 2stroke filled the air on that sunny sunday afternoon.

As I took my camera with me I was very happy with the amount of people who didn't mind getting their picture taken. Everyone their definitely looked the part, all suited and booted wither they were Mods or Skinheads. There was a great atmosphere surrounding the weekend, even on the Saturday when it was raining for most of the day. Brighton showed Quadrophenia on the beach Sunday evening, to get everyone ready for the last night of partying and dancing.

The only thing I would mention is if your planning on going next year, get tickets for Komedia venue. I went to Volks and it was very small, you could clearly tell it was the back up venue especially on the Sunday when Komedia's all nighter was on. 

I wondered around Brighton due in the day after I had taken all the pictures I wanted to. Brighton as a place is nice (in the sun), there are plenty of places to go to eat, drink & shop. Great independent clothing and record shops.  
I enjoyed my first Mod weekender & Brighton experience.
