It's my life... and I'll do what I want: An exhibition celebrating Mod and 60s culture

Jools and Paul Donnelly have been avid collectors of all things vintage since the late 70s with a particular focus on 60s mod memorabilia. Their combined passion for the mod culture has culminated in this mini exhibition ‘It’s my life…’ which also coincides with the publication of their book ‘Club a’Gogo & The Mod Scene of 1960s Newcastle.

The collection includes vintage ladies and men’s mod clothing, shoes and accessories, collectable ‘mod’ magazines, records and books, showcasing the mod scene of 1960s Newcastle and is on show at Newcastle library. Their love of the 60s era motivated them to successfully lobby Newcastle Council for a heritage plaque at the site of the legendary Club a’Gogo.
