Description

The book tells the story in two parts – firstly via the remaining members of Legay, a massively popular Leicester mod / psychedelic band whose fan base encompassed the East Midlands. Secondly, through those that were actively taking part in the scene; DJs, designers, agents, musicians, mods and those that attended the vast number of venues across the city and county. The book includes a fascinating foreword by Dr Su Barton on the social DNA of Leicester during the 1960s and how it affected the young people of the day.
