Scooter Bank Holiday: No Strings Attached

Bank holiday weekend is upon us once again and on the Isle of Wight that means it’s scooter weekend!

scooters and mods in the sixtiesWherever you are on the island, at some point over the next few days, you can be guaranteed to see some superb examples of vintage scooters cruising by.

With this in mind, our lovely friends at Happy Feet will be putting on a mod spectacular with Dj’s Sparra, Nipsy and Dre spinning 60’s R&B, Soul and Rocksteady/Ska.

So raid your wardrobes and dig out your finest mod threads in this chance to dress up and cut some shapes on the dancefloor at Bar 53, The Cellar, Union Street, Ryde.

Entry is a mere £3 and the doors open earlier than usual at 7pm.

With all the Mods on the island for the scooter spectacular it should be packed out with a great atmosphere.
