Secret Affair 30th Anniversary show Londons Camden Centre

This much anticipated Anniversary show attracted fans from all over the world as far as Japan,Spain,Ireland,Scotland and Canada and saw many fans still excited from the Astoria show last year excited about seeing Secret Affair once more.It felt as though MOD was the word in the preceding months with prominent radio stations mentioning the band and playing Secret Affair and several radios tations such as Radio 6 and Radio London visited the mod revival genre playing tracks from 79 and beyond. All good stuff since we know there is a new and fresh mod scene evolving in the youth of today.

The Camden Centre despite its name is in fact nowhere near Camden but is set in the heart of Kings Cross, a most beautiful building and a new venue for Londoners since the demise of The Astoria.Prior to the show many fans of the mod scene met up as is the tradition at The Dolphin pub across the way to meet with old mates and new and look forward to the show ahead.

Secret Affair were welcomed onstage with raucous applause as they entered to the familiar sound of the Get Carter theme which evolved into "I Don't Need No Doctor" and then into the motown classic number "Nowhere to Run" without pausing for breathe.

Yes of course fans were waiting for their favourite tracks "My World" and "Glory Boys" being popular favourites but equally the new track "Ride" was applauded and danced to with the same enthusiasm as the old numbers."Streetlife Parade" evolved into "Lifes A movie too" and now with the added feature of Bryn Barklams hammond it was indeed a masterpiece.Highlight of the night was a radio miked Cairns who entered the audience with Andy Brush on Sax to have their pay off session in Let YOur Heart Dance and leaned over the gallery at one point seemingly risking a fall into the audience at one point (think Jimmy Quadrophenia)Three encores later My WOrld completed the night with audience participation who by now were more coordinated and less tuneful!

It was my great pleasure to meet so many of my old mod mates from 79 who came to see the show and to make new friends from previous perfoemances in Ireland and Scotland. a memorable night that ended with Eddie Pillers genius disc selection,followed by Dave Edwards and Kev Lock who kept the punters dancing.If only the beer had lasted out as long as the energy did that night!

Secret Affair play Ireland for the first time

Certainly Ireland's finest moment of mod did not go unnoticed as the streets were awash with mods and fans of all ages anxious to see Secret Affair perform at Whelans for their first Irish show. Sean Fletcher of Modern Media Promotions made history by bring the band to Whelans Dublin and reviving a whole scene of friends and fans of mod culture.Many had been waiting for over 25 years to see their heroes play and it was an emotional experience for many.

Welcome. We're still here. Oh yes. And years on from our reunion shows at Shepherds Bush Empire and The Scala - appetite for more seems undiminished.
What to do? Well, as I'm sure you know - these things aren't so easily organised
And we've always figured that if we're going to do these things -they have to be done well. Those shows weren't just shows - they were like a celebration. What to do then?
More of the same? No way. Better than before? Indeed. Changes for the better? There will be. New songs, old songs not often done and the old songs often sung, played better, harder - of course; to the accompaniment of many voices singing. Your voices. Thank you all for your support. Then. Now. And in the future. Faith kept. See you at the Astoria. And the latest news - there is more to come. Some surprises are in store - but for the moment - that's our secret…
