Modcast #605: Scenes Zines & Sounds

It's all happening here with my special guest mod DJ, Derek Delboy Shepherd. Derek has his finger on the pulse of new mod music, and has had for quite a while. In the 80s he published one of the longest running mod fanzines ever, the legendary In The Crowd. And in the 90s followed that up by publishing another top fanzine, Tailor Made. These days he curates all the new mod friendly music you can find on his Spotify playlist, and he manages the New Mod Music group on Facebook. Here we jibber jabber about our experiences publishing fanzines back in the day, what mod music has inspired us over the years, and what we're listening to in the here and now. So much to talk about we didn't even get to how he met Paul Weller!
