I got an invite with a plus one to The Youth Club Gallery (Kingly Court) to see 'It's Something Hells' (a celebration of rockabilly, rockers and ted's style). I thought it would be right up my dad's street and asked him if he wanted to be my plus one. He did and we met up after work at Charring Cross station. After a quick drink in Carnaby Street we went to the gallery. We got our free drink and waited for the place to fill up.There were DJs playing a cool rocking set that got a few people dancing. I even got a picture of Mr Ducktail, 'the demon barber of Carnaby Street' sneering at the camera.
Even though my dad was older than everyone there (77) he felt really welcomed and started chatting to people and posed for photographs with some of the hep cats there. What a great night.
One thing I saw made me realise that these people may dress in the styles of the past but live very much in the present day was when I saw one bloke combing his hair and using his iPhone as a hand mirror by filming himself and watching the result live on the screen.
