The Young Idea, The New Mod Scene

The mod scene is alive and kicking with sensational young talent who are taking the live music scene by storm. Cian Downing is VERY excited to bring you four of the best up-and-coming mod-influenced acts from across the UK!

Cian Downing
With a sound that is at once nostalgic and modern, and stagecraft honed in the pubs of London town, Cian Downing, is emerging onto the British guitar scene with his infectious energy and refreshing melodic songwriting in the style of Billy Bragg, Paul Weller and The Specials.

Scarlett Fever
Formed in 2020, Scarlett Fever is a fresh and exciting band hailing from Crewe, Cheshire. They first made their mark at Malbank High School, and their sound is a contemporary take on the mod sound of the late 70s.

Mayfair
Young London Mod band - think early ROLLING STONES and WHO. ... London R&B combo.

The Ties
This classy London-based indie rock band have the Britrock/Britpop chops and then some, with elements of Oasis, The Verve and Ocean Colour Scene, not to mention all the ‘60s/‘70s touchstones from The Who to The Stones via The Small Faces.
