hi chris I just wonder if you were somehow influenced by the Mod revival or by the first mod wave bands such as The Who Small Faces Georgie Fame and the Blue flames or Bo street Runners .Were you interested in Rhythm and Blues music. Thank you you have always been my heroes.R&B and Blue-Beat is my busyness.

dear Xavier
Is that your real name? Fantastic name, if it is. The Mod revival did not influence me at all. We liked Georgie Fames version of “Madness” very good. Of course the Who, the Small Faces I grew up with their music great bands. I like R & B a lot.
