On Hobart’s Edge Radio, Fridays 6pm – 7pm. Dynamic 60s style mod, pop, soul, ska and new wave music. An exciting mix to start your weekend. Music from/inspired by the 60s Mod era, melodic pop/rock, stompin’ retro soul/ska, new wave sounds and ballads to catch your breath.
The original Mods (scooter riding, snappy dressers) danced the night away to modern jazz, R&B, Beat, upbeat (Northern) Soul and Jamaican ska. Mod/ska revivals have also coincided with punk, power pop, new wave and a continuing Northern Soul scene.
Early Who, Small Faces, Soul, Ska, The Jam, Squeeze…The Sound of Pop Art.
