What's On > The Quadrophenia Experience with Roger K Burton & Alan Fletcher
"One Saturday we were approached by a film art director who was looking for original 60s clothes for a forthcoming movie about Mods called Quadrophenia, which was backed by The Who. He wanted to know if we could supply them…" Roger Burton
Join Roger K Burton and Alan Fletcher for a talk and Q&A on their lives as Mods in Leicester and Nottingham during the 1960s and their roles within the cult film, Quadrophenia.
