"I enjoyed listening to soul artists such as George Benson, Luther Van Vandross and Dione Warick. I also liked the groups Sister Sledge and Cool In The Gang"
How did you access it?
"I listened to the radio. On sundays Top of The Pops station was played and I use to tape the songs so I could listen to them freely on my cassette player. I tended not to go to gigs. However I read smash hits magazine"
Did you consider yourself a follower of a sub-culture?
"For a short time I was a modette, so I wore lots of black and white which were the 'mod' colours at the time. Style Council were a group that I loved it while I was a modette and we were known to ride around on scooters and vespers, a common thing that they were associated with it"
How long did this phase last?
"I stayed as a modette for a couple of years for the Style Council type of music. But I still follow soul music to this day, I always get excited when I song I used to listen to comes on the radio!"
